An IQ test for materialsMaterials that we would call ‘intelligent’, what do we mean by that? Are we referring to the manufacturing process, do these materials have cleverly invented properties? Or will we have matter that feels, gives feedback, communicates and remembers? Materials that enable us to, for example, develop a computer brain that is as efficient as our own. In their paper ‘The rise of intelligent matter’, researchers of the universities of Münster and Twente, explore the possibilities. This paper is in Nature of 17 June.Read more
Where did the ‘silver’ go?If it is up to UT-PhD student Jiaying Li, we will no longer have a ‘silver’ layer in food packages like crisps bags. In her latest publication, she describes a relatively easy method to create recyclable coatings for food packages. Her research paves the way for food packages that – given the right conditions – can be recycled in water. She recently published her work in the scientific journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.Read more
