Why Silicon Valley? Gallium arsenide is an excellent replacement for silicon, which has long been the primary ingredient in the manufacture of electronic devices, hence the nickname 'Silicon Valley' for the international hub of technological innovation in California. #material

The ocean plays a critical role in removing carbon from the atmosphere and providing oxygen. On World Ocean Day, people everywhere can celebrate and take action for our shared blue planet, with one ocean and one climate, which connects us all #WorldOceansDay2022

E-waste #recycling must be increased urgently, scientists say, since mining precious #metals from the Earth to make new gadgets is not sustainable.​.According to one study, the world's mountain of discarded #electronics was estimated to weigh 57 million tonnes in 2021 alone.

What can you do with a chip in your contact lens?​.The Dutch start-up Vsparticle printed a circuit on a contact lens.​.Future scenarios involve incorporating electronics and LEDs on contact lenses, or even involve recording video or taking photos using voluntary blinks. #material

Scientists who gave the world its first look at a black hole released their latest image. About 27 light-years from Earth, Sagittarius A* has a mass 4 million times that of our sun. This is only the second time that visual evidence of such an object has been captured. #BlackHole

Do you know about the Mpemba effect? Scientists believe this is because the velocity of water particles, while hot, has a unique disposition that allows them to freeze faster. This finding might also apply to everyday things, like cooling down electronic devices. #Materials

Today we are printing gold nanoparticles 🚀.Materials show different properties when they are at the nanoscale.​ They enter a different dimension, and they acquire some superpowers: some materials melt faster, some change color, or become hazardous.​.#materialsscience

How much gold is in the Ocean? .The ocean contains 20 million pounds of #gold.​ .Finding gold in ocean waters would be like looking for sugar grains in unstirred coffee. Gold ores can be found on the seafloor, but these deposits are encased in layers of rock. #Science #Facts

Over the years Women have proven that they can succeed in anything and everything by just being given the chance. and on this special day we celebrate all the vitals roles played by women and girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).👩‍🎓👩‍🔬👩‍💻.#WomenInScience

We will be running a workshop on 10th of Feb about material science data sharing and management. One of the main speakers Pedro Mendes, Assistant Professor at @istecnico. Workshops are fully booked, you can sign up on to be notified of upcoming workshops.

In 1896, a Russian chemist by the name of Dmitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. Over the course of years gone by, new elements were discovered giving chemists a new scope of elements to work with. ​🧪
