Why tyres grip the road - New theory dispenses with long tests
What do Formula One racing tyres have in common with fly`s feet? This apparently bizarre question can be answered with the aid of physics: They are both soft and supple and exude a more or less sticky liquid. In this way, irregularities on the asphalt or - in the case of the fly - on the window pane are filled in. The area of contact becomes... view more... (2002-06-10)

Safety device for tall buildings
The device, called `Life-Saver` by the designers, looks like a big badminton shuttlecock. A shock-absorbing cushion connected to two thick torus rings (bagels) covered by a special material, serves as the bean of this shuttlecock. When folded the `Life-Saver` looks like a solid base backpack or a knapsack. When required, a person puts it on the... view more... (2001-12-25)
Zinc oxide gives green shine to new photoconductors
Photodetectors -- devices found in cell phones, digital cameras and other consumer gadgets that utilize photoconducting materials -- are a green technology in performance (converting light into electricity), but the manufacture of very powerful photodetectors needs to be improved before they can qualify for solid green status. view more (2009-03-19)
Low-cost reusable material could facilitate capture of carbon dioxide from power plants
Researchers have developed a new, low-cost material for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants and other generators of the greenhouse gas. Produced with a simple one-step chemical process, the new material has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide - and can be reused many times. view more (2008-03-10)
Particles as tracers for the most massive explosions in the Milky Way
Astronomers recently observed a mysterious flux of particles in the universe, and the hope was born that this may be the first observation of the remnants of "dark matter". view more (2009-08-11)
Study of the corrosive effects of water
As is known, corrosion is defined as the destruction of a material under chemical or electrochemical action by its surrounding environment. The reactions and transformations involved in this corrosion are due to the thermodynamic instability in the materials of which the surrounding environment is made up, giving rise to products with properties... view more...

New recipe for self-healing plastic includes dash of food additive
Adding a food additive to damaged polymers can help restore them to full strength, say scientists at the University of Illinois who cooked up the novel, self-healing system. view more (2008-10-16)
New ORNL roof system means savings for homeowners
Homeowners could see their summer utility bills fall by 8 percent or more with a new roof and attic system being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2007-08-29)
Medical Imaging with 'Swiss Rolls'
Under Strict Embargo for 19:00 London GMT/14.00 US EST Thursday 1 February A novel magnetic material developed by British researchers may lead to dramatic improvements in the performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. Writing in the journal Science today they describe initial experiments confirming the exotic nature of the material... view more... (2001-02-01)
Living in a material world
A unique lab space that will bring together a collection of all new and advanced materials and introduce new avenues to traditional methods of scientific research will be established by scientist Mark Miodownik thanks to a Fellowship award of £69,000 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts), the organisation... view more...

New Transparent Insulating Film Could Enable Energy-Efficient Displays
Johns Hopkins materials scientists have found a new use for a chemical compound that has traditionally been viewed as an electrical conductor, a substance that allows electricity to flow through it. view more (2009-11-10)
Nanoscale study gives new insight into heat transfer in biological systems
One of the first things we learn in chemistry class is that solids conduct heat better than liquids. But a new study suggests that in nanoscale materials, this is not necessarily the case. view more (2005-10-21)
Scientists determine strength of 'liquid smoke'
Researchers have created a 3D image of a material referred to as "liquid smoke." Aerogel, also known as liquid smoke or "San Francisco fog," is an open-cell polymer with pores smaller than 50 nanometers in diameter. view more (2008-07-30)
New advance towards superconductor wires
Researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the Materials Science Institute of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and various German and North American institutions have developed a simple method for measuring the maximum current that coated superconductors can carry. The material will, most likely, be used to manufacture the superconductor... view more... (2004-03-22)
Inequality, 'silver spoon' effect found in ancient societies
The so-called "silver spoon" effect -- in which wealth is passed down from one generation to another -- is well established in some of the world's most ancient economies. view more (2009-10-30)
New Education Gap Emerging in Home Learning
A new education gap between the rich and the poor may be being created by the Government`s emphasis on home learning says new research. Whilst publishers have seen the introduction of new media into schools and homes as a market opportunity, many poorer parents are less able to afford what they produce. `The Government`s emphasis on testing is... view more...

Materials World - December 1999 Issue
3D Sound Systems Using Groundbreaking Piezoelectric Springs Digital speakers that can project three dimensional sound across a room are being developed using springs built from piezoelectric ceramics. Applying an electrical current to the material forces the spring to expand causing a vibration that produces a coherent sound image away from the... view more... (1999-11-30)
Old glass - a new material
Insulation materials used for sound insulation, as thermal cladding and in fire prevention play an important role in modern building. Ever since asbestos and a number of other building materials were identified as hazardous, demand has continually grown for non-fibrous building materials that do not present any risk to health. Researchers at the... view more... (1999-09-03)
