1.The components of magnets are iron, cobalt, nickel and other atoms, the internal structure of its atoms is relatively special, itself has a magnetic moment Classification: permanent magnets, soft magnets.
Application areas: information storage, used in engines, creative product design, levitation tables, exercise equipment, gravity-sensing concept watches, etc.
2. Spider silk is more than 5 times stronger than ordinary steel. Spider silk consists of protein chains that provide strength and non-connected areas that provide flexibility, making it much stronger than ordinary steel. Applications: bullet-proof vests, underwater bonding materials, artificial skin, airbag materials, medical, military, construction, etc.
3. Ultra-black Vantablack, which absorbs 99.96% of the light that shines on it, is made of carbon nanotubes that are 10,000 times thinner than hair.
Applications: Astronomical cameras, telescopes and infrared scanning systems, improving the ability of astronomical telescopes to view the faintest stars, military applications, etc.
4. Graphene is a two-dimensional material only one carbon atom thick, currently the world’s thinnest but also the hardest nanomaterials; almost completely transparent, absorbing only 2.3% of the light; in 2010, the discoverer of graphene won the Nobel Prize.
Application areas: single-molecule gas detection, graphene nanoribbons, integrated circuits, graphene transistors, transparent conductive electrodes, thermally conductive materials/thermal interface materials, supercapacitors, desalination of seawater, solar batteries, graphene bio-devices, antimicrobial substances, graphene photosensitive elements.
5. The lightest solid – aerogel is a solid form of matter, the density of 3kg/m3, because of its extremely low density, so it is also known as “frozen smoke” or “blue smoke”. It also has a very good thermal insulation effect because 80% of its body is made up of air. There are SiO2 aerogel, carbon aerogel, and metal oxide aerogel.
Application areas: industry, construction, transport, home insulation and cold chain logistics, functional equipment and other fields
6. Silent metal consists of manganese~copper-aluminium-iron-nickel alloy.
Application areas: aerospace, automotive manufacturing, civil engineering and construction, machinery manufacturing, train wheels, household appliances and other applications.
7. Highly absorbent resin is a synthetic resin with hydrophilic groups that can absorb a lot of water and dissolve and keep the water from flowing out.
Application areas: health care, agriculture and gardening, industry, food industry, water-absorbent agent, fruit and vegetable preservatives, etc.
8. metamaterials is a class of sub-wavelength structural units as the basic unit of the composition of the natural material does not have the physical characteristics of the metamaterials of artificial composite structures or materials.
Application areas: high-speed trains, new ground travel equipment, aerospace, national defence science and technology, ground intelligent robots and other fields.
9.Shape memory alloys that can completely eliminate the deformation that occurs at lower temperatures after heating and warming, and restore the original shape before deformation.
Application areas: aerospace, machinery and electronics, biomedical, bridge construction, automotive industry and daily life and many other fields.
10. Amorphous metals Strength higher than steel, hardness exceeds the high hardness tool steel, and has a certain degree of toughness and rigidity.
Application areas: aerospace, now the satellite to collect solar energy to maintain the operation of the stretching mechanism; metal glass can be used to manufacture kinetic energy armour-breaking, armour-piercing bullets. Voltage transformer core; watch cases, high-grade mobile phones, laptop shells, as well as in the car important parts of the application.
