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.

In some metals, there is strength in order

Study finds atomic-scale ordering of elements in a metallic alloy that is responsible for alloy’s increased strength. The Science Metal alloys are materials that contain two or more atomic metal…

A new, nanoscale, 3D structure to control light

Metamaterials, made up of small, repeated structures, engineered to produce desired interactions with light or sound waves, can improve optical devices used in telecommunications, imaging and more. But the functionality…

2D materials could be used to simulate brain synapses in computers

Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have fabricated a material for computer components that enable the commercial viability of computers that mimic the human brain. Electrochemical…

Scientists weave atomically thin wires into ribbons

Mass-producing nanoribbons for cutting-edge electronics and catalysts. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in using nanowires of a transition-metal chalcogenide to make atomically thin “nanoribbons”. Bundles of nanowires were exposed…

Novel two-step mechanism revealed in two-dimensional material formation

Two-dimensional materials are incredibly thin. Typically only an atom thick, 2D materials exhibit highly desirable properties for advanced technologies, such as flexibility, superconductivity and more. Made from carefully transitioning individual…

Discovery unravels emergent atomic vibrations in superlattices

Nature Paper Advances Design of Nanomaterials with Tailored Infrared and Thermal Properties. Scientists and engineers collaborating across seven universities and two national laboratories have made a fundamental discovery about the…
