Are micronized sunscreen ingredients and modern nanomaterials safe?
New research and public debate are shining a brighter light on tiny engineered particles now common in everyday products. From mineral sunscreen additives to advanced carbon-based nanomaterials, scientists say the current balance of evidence leans toward safety for typical topical uses — but important unknowns remain, especially about long-term exposure and how materials behave when…
New Perspectives on Advanced Materials: Categories, Capabilities, and Emerging Uses
As modern technologies evolve, so does the demand for materials that do more than simply carry loads. Advanced materials — engineered for specific mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, or biological responses — are becoming central to next-generation devices across energy, healthcare, communications, and manufacturing. Researchers and developers are increasingly grouping these materials by the roles they…
Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Environmental Remediation
With the global focus on sustainability and climate resilience, the materials we use are undergoing a dramatic transformation. The most transformative of these are nanomaterials: engineered matter with dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. These tiny materials hold enormous potential, especially in the areas of clean energy production and storage, and environmental remediation. Their high…
