A new study published in AIP Conference Proceedings explores a novel approach to utilize eruptive deposits in construction materials, aiming to leverage these deposits’ unique properties to help create both fine and coarse aggregate destined for use in green structural lightweight concretes.

While it could offer excellent potential for use in polymer tribology applications, there has been little research thus far into the potential of 3D printing in optimizing polymer friction and wear characteristics.

With COP26 focusing attention on the UK’s progress towards decarbonizing its industry, commercial sectors, and transportation sectors, there has been renewed interest in the potential of rail to help meet these carbon reduction targets.

Self-healing materials offer the potential to help address a number of global issues including the urgent need to produce and pollute less, and the requirement to move to a more sustainable way of life across all areas of society and industry.

Carbon is one of the most abundant elements found in nature, not least because it forms the building blocks of life on Earth. New research in the journal Diamond & Related Materials considers three new super-hard carbon allotropes.

A new study presented in the journal Coatings has investigated factors effecting bacterial adhesion on prosthetic and orthotic materials, and mitigation solutions.

A recent paper presented in the Materials journal outlines some innovative experimental research into the development of 3D structures with an SLA additive technique and Durable Resin V2.

Consumer demand and the urgency of the need to shift to more sustainable means of production across all industries have prompted the fashion industry to look for more environmentally friendly textile solutions.

As recently as 2020, the global market for rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) was valued at approximately USD 40.5 billion, anticipated to increase to around USD 92 billion by 2026 – driven in part by the increased adoption of electric vehicles and the central role of rechargeable batteries in renewable energy production.

A new paper presented in the Displays journal looks to biology and nature for a potential solution to the demand for ever-more advanced image fusion techniques, focusing on the development of image fusion algorithms based on the vision of rattlesnakes.
