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.
Indications of the origin of the Spin Seebeck effect discovered
The recovery of waste heat in all kinds of processes poses one of the main challenges of our time to making established processes more energy-efficient and…
Rice researchers demo solar water-splitting technology
Rice University researchers have demonstrated an efficient new way to capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into clean, renewable energy by splitting…
Long-sought chiral anomaly detected in crystalline material
“Our research fulfills a famous prediction in physics for which confirmation seemed unattainable,” said N. Phuan Ong, Princeton's Eugene Higgins Professor of…
Extremely thin ceramic components made possible by extrusion
Extrusion is one of the most common shaping processes in technical ceramics. Preferably, it is used for the cost-effective production of axisymmetric…
For 2-D boron, it's all about that base
Rice University scientists have theoretically determined that the properties of atom-thick sheets of boron depend on where those atoms land.
Phagraphene, a 'relative' of graphene, discovered
“Unlike graphene, a hexagonal honeycomb structure with atoms of carbon at its junctions, phagraphene consists of penta-, hexa- and heptagonal carbon rings. Its…
