There is so much happening in materials: novel composites, nanostructured morphologies, biomimetic materials, biomaterials themselves, materials for solar energy conversion, highly porous materials for energy and gas storage…preparation, modification, characterisation. Seemingly, never a day goes by without at least half a dozen incredible breakthroughs in materials science and technology that are, according to the press releases announcing this or that research paper or conference, going to change our lives forever and hopefully for the better.
