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.

New plant-derived composite is tough as bone and hard as aluminum

The material could pave the way for sustainable plastics. The strongest part of a tree lies not in its trunk or its sprawling roots, but in the walls of its…

A new electrolyte for greener and safer batteries

A UNIGE team has developed a new material that improves the performance of solid-state sodium batteries, a less dangerous and more durable alternative to lithium. The future of battery technologies…

Self-assembling and complex, nanoscale mesocrystals can be tuned for a variety of uses

A research team from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces reports to have found the key to controlled fabrication of cerium oxide mesocrystals….

PERC Solar Cells from 100 Percent Recycled Silicon

Around ten thousand tons of silicon in discarded photovoltaic modules end up on the recycling market annually in Germany. This figure will rise to several hundred thousand tons per year…

Making designer crystals?

It’s easier with a new targeted particle bonding strategy. The Science Colloids are microparticles in a solution, meaning the particles are evenly distributed. Crystals made from colloids are valuable in…

Mechanical control of a reconfigurable intelligent surface

A mechanically reconfigurable intelligent surface operates at microwave frequencies and uses a robust control method to determine the rotation angle of each meta-atom. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are a type…
