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.
ORNL microscopy directly images problematic lithium dendrites in batteries
Dendrites form when metallic lithium takes root on a battery's anode and begins growing haphazardly. If the dendrites grow too large, they can puncture the…
New research into materials for tooth fillings
Amalgam, also called silver amalgam filling, is a reasonably strong material, but the disadvantage of silver amalgam is that they contain mercury, which can…
2D nitrogenated crystals new potential rival for graphene
Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) one-atom-thick sheet of carbon crystals that has many extraordinary properties in terms of its strength, electrical and…
Chemists develop new way to make cost-effective material for electricity storage
The researchers wanted to find a better way to make coatings that can be painted onto surfaces to conduct electricity or convert electricity into hydrogen…
Graphene meets heat waves
At the moment, however, potential applications are facing a fundamental problem: how does heat propagate inside these sheets of materials that are no more than…
Holding Energy By The Threads
While the pattern for making a wearable fabric battery has already been laid out, it’s now time to select the threads that will turn a textile into an energy…
