MIT researchers develop optical transistor
Researchers describe the experimental realization of an optical switch controlled by a single photon, allowing light to govern the transmission of light.
Startups in materials science: interview with Jeffrey Carbeck
What materials discoveries had an impact on business the past 10 years? How will we do materials science startups in the future? Jeff Carbeck explains.
New material for low-platinum catalysis
Platinum-nickel nano-octahedra save 90 percent platinum.
3D printing can produce lithium-ion microbatteries
Novel application of 3D printing could enable the development of miniaturized medical implants, compact electronics, tiny robots, and more.

An “electronic nose” sensor being commercialized by Innovation Economy Crowd (ieCrowd), will be further refined to detect deadly pathogens.
Solar car with motor materials from ThyssenKrupp
Soft magnetic steel is the core of a new generation of solar cars.
Flexible metamaterials could form new optical systems
New thin, planar, lightweight, and broadband polarimetric photonic devices and optics could result from recent research by a team of Los Alamos scientists.
Cause of LED "droop" identified
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and École Polytechnique confirm that Auger recombination theory is responsible for LED droop phenomenon.
