Materials Sciences

Materials management deals with the research, development, manufacturing and processing of raw and industrial materials. Key aspects here are biological and medical issues, which play an increasingly important role in this field.

innovations-report offers in-depth articles related to the development and application of materials and the structure and properties of new materials.

Natural super glue from native mistletoe berries

– a promising discovery. A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) and McGill University in Canada discovered strong adhesive properties of white-berry mistletoe….

Flexible, highly sensitive motion device created by extrusion printing

UBCO researchers change the game when it comes to activity tracking. The creation of high-resolution extrusion printing—think 3D printing but with ink that conducts electricity—has enabled UBC researchers to explore…

New, highly tunable composite materials—with a twist

Watch this. Watch for the patterns created as the circles move across each other. Those patterns, created by two sets of lines offset from each other, are called moiré (pronounced…

Sponge-like solar cells could be basis for better pacemakers

Invented by UChicago scientists, a new kind of solar cell could spur useful technology. Holes help make sponges and English muffins useful (and, in the case of the latter, delicious)….

Insulation from wood research proves better

… than existing plastic-based materials. One day soon, buildings could become more energy-efficient—and environmentally sustainable—with insulating material developed from wood by researchers in Sweden. The newly-developed material offers as good…

Expediting H2-evolution over MAPbI3

… with a non-noble metal cocatalyst Mo2C under visible light. Nanomaterials frontier towards hydrogen energy. Halide perovskites have been emerging as promising photocatalytic materials for H2-evolution from water due to their…
