- Solid material with mobile particles that react to the environment
Inside most materials, little is moving. But a new "active nanocomposite" is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material. It was made by...
- New type of nanoparticles increase corrosion protection
Research scientists at INM developed a special type of flake-like zinc-phosphate nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are ten times as long as they are thick. As a result of this anisotropy, the pene...
- Nanocarbons clean water without the use of chemicals and transform waste heat into electricity
Scientists at Leibniz Institute for New Materials INM are working on a desalination method which does not require the addition of chemicals and which is highly energy-efficient. This environmentall...
- Environmentally friendly corrosion protection shows its effect by simple spraying
Materials researchers from Saarbruecken developed a new composite material, which prevents corrosion of metals even under extreme conditions in an environmentally friendly way. It can be used, wher...
- Gold surfaces repair themselves at room temperature
Micromechanical systems and electric switches are based on smallest sliding contacts. They only work without loss of energy or material, if the surfaces are very smooth and without any defects. So ...
