Green Technologies

This technology reduces the environmental impact on building sectors. The demand for building materials is shifting towards environmentally preferable or green materials due to consumer demand. These technologies would either decrease environmental impact through the development of more environmentally sustainable materials and products, or even by the generation and conservation of resources such as energy and water.

Metals and Alloys

Metals and alloys are materials that are usually exhausting, malleable, and have smart electrical and thermal conduction. Alloys are created by melting 2 or additional components together, at least one of them a metal. They need properties that improve those of the constituent components, such larger strength or resistance to corrosion Everybody is aware of what metal is; it is found in thousands of things that surround us every day. Once you begin to conserve some of these metal items, however, you discover that the substance is more sophisticated than it looks. Most things we have a tendency to call metals these days are more accurately known as alloys. True metals are pure elements, whereas alloys are blends of two or additional metals that are fusible together. Metals and alloys are straightforward to distinguish from nonmetals because they're usually shinier, heavier, and tougher than most materials and that they are glorious conductors of heat and electricity. Even so, visu...

Emerging Smart Materials

Polymeric materials assume a significant half in human life. Actually, our body is formed of parcel of polymers, e.g. Proteins , catalysts, and then forth. Different unremarkably happening polymers like wood, elastic, cowhide and silk are serving the mankind for a protracted time currently. Present day logical apparatuses altered the getting ready of polymers along these lines accessible designed polymers like valuable plastics, rubbers and fibre materials. Capacity of a country to tackle nature and its capability to adapt up to the difficulties postured by its controlled by its total information of materials and its capability to form and deliver them for various applications. Propelled Materials are at the core of various mechanical enhancements that touch our lives. smart materials are used for correspondence and information innovation, optical strands, optical device filaments sensors for savvy condition, vitality materials for sustainable power supply and condition, lightweight...

The Birth of the Materials Project

In 2008,  Kristin Persson's  husband took a job in California, so she left Ceder's group at MIT and joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) as a research scientist. Yet, rather than mourn the loss of a key colleague, the team saw the move as an opportunity to shift their work into high gear. "At MIT, we pretty much hacked everything together," Ceder explains. "It all worked, but it was a bit buggy and would have never scaled beyond our small team. At a National Lab, however, they had the resources to build it out properly and create a platform that could really drive things forward." So Persson hit the ground running, got a small grant and stitched together a team to combine the materials work with the high performance supercomputing done at the lab.
