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.

More sensitive X-ray imaging

Improvements in the material that converts X-rays into light, for medical or industrial images, could allow a tenfold signal enhancement. Scintillators are materials that emit light when bombarded with high-energy…

Flexible OLED for homogeneous light in the operating room

Within the joint project LAOLA, which was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and has now been completed, large-area lighting applications with OLEDs on flexible…

Inorganic borophene liquid crystals …

A superior new material for optoelectronic devices. Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their immense applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires…

Nanoantennas for light controlled electrically

Electrical tuning of plasmonic conducting polymer nanoantennas. Researchers at Linköping University have developed optical nanoantennas that can be turned on/off and gradually tuned by applying electrical potentials. The study, which…

Extending service life while reducing resource usage

A team including researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has developed new methods for repairing the latest generation of aircraft engine blades as part of the “Novel Engine Repair Methods” project…

How hydrogen behaves in aluminium alloys

Researchers of the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung publish their latest findings in the journal Nature. Due to its low density, high strength, and abundance, aluminium and its alloys are widely used…
