Everything is made up of one or more materials. Different materials have different properties resulting in many kinds of objects. Many new materials can revolutionize our life, transforming our habits, too. Such, industrial breakthroughs usually go with new development of materials. Advancements in materials science, while accelerating research and experimentation, effect material's sustainability, light weighting, nanomolecular, and programmable qualities. Such, material's trends in aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, energy, and packaging, show the benefits of emerging innovations. It should be of great benefit to identify material's innovations by considering the wide-range of their applications in industrial, commercial, and household products. Advanced materials have superior properties and performances, such as strength, durability, conductivity, biocompatibility, etc. compared, to existing once.
Scientists invent new materials by intention to solve many problems therefore creating new possibilities in different fields of science, engineering, and technology. Today, we tend to invent, rather than discover, new materials. The material trends range from solutions for sustainability, light weighting, 3D printing, and surface engineering. Furthermore, the development of intelligent materials, nano-formulations, and advanced composites with enhanced characteristics is practice, too. Some examples of advanced materials are: Composite metal foams, Self-healing gel, Lithium-ion batteries and similar. Those advanced materials were invented by using various methods and tools, such as: Materials Genome Initiative: and Atomic-scale fabrication.
Scientists continue to make better materials by making them stronger, lighter, and more functional than conventional ones. Using advances in nanotechnology new materials and material combinations seem endless. Furthermore, new material technology is integrated with biotechnology, and information technology, too.
Very important current R&D is related to investigation of rare earth elements having unique properties. Such, for example, neodymium magnets can store impressive amounts of energy. Further, the cerium, another rare earth element in combination with aluminum improves high-temperature performances, having better corrosion properties when compared to most aluminum alloys, too. Precision engineering on microscopic scales enables us to make metamaterials that behave in ways that "nature can’t be matched".
The application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data management enables scientists to explore and develop new materials much faster. This shorten the time for developing new material to just a few years.
Today we are in the middle of a materials revolution. The Internet of Things, the Industry 4.0, and nanotechnology play center role. Engineers, scientists, and other researchers are changing the limits and nature of material science. The material advances are going to improve many types of products we can manufacture. They will, also, give us chances to create a healthier and more sustainable world. In those processes there will be used powerful simulation techniques, as well as sophisticated machine learning algorithms,. That will result in innovation forward at astonishing speed. Certainly, we will, in these processes use and even generate possibilities which had been never considered. No dough, the next decade will result in the rapid advancement in materials what will have, non easy predictable, impact on our life...
