The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated! However, you can follow me on Twitter, drop in to my Posterous where I occasionally post things and of course check out IOM3's superb new website (which I manage) at www.iom3.org On the latter you'll find dozens of new articles every month by materials, minerals and mining professionals, as well as a host of other essential information on IOM3 services and communities, and improved features including forums and content alerts. Look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes

New Materials World out now



Start your materials year in style with the January MW, which focuses on nanotechnology. John Gearing of Gearing Scientific Ltd discusses the measuring and testing of materials at the nanoscale, while Dr Cristianne Rijcken, a Postdoctoral Fellow from Utrecht University, Netherlands, explores nanomaterials for drug delivery systems. Related articles focus on the future of nanotechnology and imaging materials at the nanoscale. In other feature stories, Michael Forrest takes a look at niobium mining in Araxa, Brazil and reports on the MinSouth commodity day, which focused on copper. Elsewhere, the MW team investigate the development of electrochemical technology to aid micro- and nanoscale substrate patterning, and recycling carbon-fibre based composites.




MW is the leading monthly materials magazine and is available free to members of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
