The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated!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


It's actually been out for some time... those guys at MW run rings round the rest of us :-)

The March 2008 issue focuses on the automotive industry, with related articles on sustainable production, paint shop costs and coatings.

In other feature stories, mining risk management and the search for oil off the Irish coast are investigated.

In the news section, the team reports on new ways of disposing of irradiated materials and a silicon chip that is 10 times more energy-efficient than standard versions.
