Salvinia molesta, a water fern well known for its water-dispersal properties, may provide the answer to lowering the amount of drag ships experience when they sail through the sea, thus reducing fuel costs [Barthlott et al., Adv Mater. (2010) 22, 1]. 28 June 2010
Examining surfaces at the nano-scale is one of the most challenging problems of modern materials science. 23 June 2010
Are you a young researcher under 35 years old with a passion for communicating science in a clear and exciting way? 14 June 2010
Controlling the way liquids spread across a surface is important for a wide variety of technologies, including DNA microarrays for medical research, inkjet printers and digital lab-on-a-chip systems. But until now, the designers of such devices could only control how much the liquid would spread out over a surface, not which way it would go. 19 May 2010

On 20th May, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), one of the UK’s leading science and research facilities, will hold an open day for the first time in over twenty years. 16 April 2010
This book presents methods for synthesizing and characterizing adsorbents, ion exchangers, ionic conductors, heterogeneous catalysts, and permeable porous materials. 20 March 2010
The way a material behaves is commonly dependent on the characteristics of its surface. An international team based in France and the USA [Chabal et al., Nature Mater (2010) DOI: 10.1038/NMAT2611] has now used a process to allow "snap-on" chemistry on silicon substrates by nanopatterning their surfaces. 09 February 2010
A magnetic charge can behave and interact just like an electric charge in some materials, according to new research led by the London Centre for Nanotechnology which could lead to a reassessment of current magnetism theories, as well as significant technological advances. 05 January 2010
In its recent report The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, the U.S.-based National Academy of Engineering outlined the various fields in which students educated in engineering might go on to be leaders, including research, product and system development, business and even broader professions. 22 December 2009
The global energy problem is rapidly intensifying due to escalating competition for resources from emerging, populous countries such as China, India, and Brazil and compelling evidence pointing towards the imperative need for controlling greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. 22 December 2009
We are pleased to announce that Materials Today in partnership with Sigma-Aldrich, are staging a live educational webinar on:From Molecules to Monolayers:Self-Assembly and Analysis, Molecule by Molecule 05 November 2009
Researchers have reported unexpected results from studies into the behavior of oppositely charged liquid drops. 16 October 2009
What do we really mean by ‘engineering leadership’, how can it be developed and nurtured? 25 September 2009
Engineers have developed a new method for creating high-performance membranes from crystal sieves called zeolites; the method could increase the energy efficiency of chemical separations up to 50 times over conventional methods and enable higher production rates. 24 September 2009
Scientists have reported use of a new X-ray imaging technique to reveal for the first time in a century unprecedented details of a painting hidden beneath another painting by American illustrator N.C. (Newell Convers) Wyeth. The non-destructive look-beneath-the-surface method could reveal hidden images in hundreds of Old Master paintings and other prized works of art, the researchers say. The scientists reported the research at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). 06 September 2009
A recent breakthrough by researchers at the Swiss Nanoscience Institute sees for the first time the creation of thin films with controllable electronic properties. 05 September 2009
Recessions pose enormous challenges for individuals, companies and governments alike. Yet they also present significant opportunities for those with the foresight to seize them. 28 August 2009
