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.
Pitt engineers create insect-inspired robots that can monitor hard-to-reach spots. These ancient creatures can squeeze through the tiniest cracks, fit snugly into tight spaces and survive in harsh environments: There…
Many semiconducting materials are possible candidates for solar cells. In recent years, perovskite semiconductors in particular have attracted attention, as they are both inexpensive and easy to process and enable…
Original technique predicts and guides the ordered creation of strong, yet flexible, diamond nanothread. As hard as diamond and as flexible as plastic, highly sought-after diamond nanothreads would be poised…
The highly adaptable materials could lead to new classes of wearable devices, diagnostic sensors and biological-electronic hybrid organisms. UCLA researchers have developed a unique design of ultrathin films for highly…
Discovery reveals role of oxygen impurities in semiconductor properties. A research team probing the properties of a semiconductor combined with a novel thin oxide film have observed a surprising new…
The introduction of lead-free metal halide powder into a scintillation screen took some tinkering. Once a KAUST team worked out the right technique, they were able to produce an exceptionally…
