Angelina has the light of a gem, iridescent as diamond, soft as the dew. It is a polyester fiber from the beautiful optical properties, used for fashion and design. Liquidmetal is the color of platinum is malleable as plastic but exceptionally hard and durable, lightweight, elastic, biocompatible, with a thousand uses: aerospace industry, in biomedicine, in jewelry. Potato plate, however, looks and a less noble. The rest comes from the residues of processing potato skins, fragments and waste water. But do not make it any less interesting. It is an innovative packaging materials: 100% biodegradable. Very hard or soft, luminous and clear, thin, green, electronic. 
Welcome to the fascinating world of new materials. For the design, fashion, architecture, industry. But even for the space, the human body and energy. A world in which, according to many, is undergoing a revolution. Materials amazing brand new aesthetics, highly performing, eco-friendly and recyclable products, especially real already. While those already known, have become obsolete or less than noble, now reborn with new forms and uses unknown. Have you ever thought of being able to lift a concrete block with one hand? Lege Beton, produced by the French La Compagnie Des Arts, cement is lightweight, colorful, water resistant, shock proof, to be used for furniture and interior design. But big changes are yet to come, and the results could be unpredictable. Protagonists announced, nanotechnology, which in recent years promise to pass a ten-year prophecy: "Over there there's a lot of space," the physicist Richard Feynman suggested in the fifties. Now, researchers put his hands in those depths, where there often occur, to manipulate the molecules as if they were Legos. And, as someone said, "to be playing God." Well, almost. Password? Creativity In truth, if you mess up even the smallest components of what nature has provided will be the objective in the coming years, the process of change has already begun. The board turned to interior decorators, designers, architects, designers and industry, is very suggestive: be unconventional, follow your instincts, feel free. Elodie Ternaux is an engineer and a designer, and then to craft deals with materials. Collects and stores them, enhances them, they present within Meter, archive, exhibition and information center just minutes from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. With Quentin Hirsinger Material World II has published a book-collection of 150 innovative materials, emblematic of the ongoing transformation. "Our slogan is an invitation to all those working in the field of creativity. We try to provide materials that people have never seen, and maybe not think they go there. Why, for example, wood is not the only option for existing furniture, such as metal and glass are not the only possibility for architecture. The important thing, however, is breaking down barriers that prevent the migration of materials from an industrial to a other ". To publicize their products even outside the more traditional contexts is the way to go. 
happy Examples are numerous: Nanogel, 97% load and 3% silicone, colored, translucent, born 's aerospace industry, is now being used in homes for its outstanding insulating properties, and, in architecture, lighting effects that gives a soft and enveloping. SpiraWave, iron-carbon alloys or copper-beryllium springs for industrial, have been transformed into Jewelry by Arik Levy. And fabrics made of metal designed for filtering processes may be used together with optical fibers, indoor and outdoor architecture. Up to titanium. An architectural element for Frank Gehry and his Guggenheim Bilbao, is found today in golf clubs, bicycles, watches, jewelry, luxury cars. Nanosurface, a company in Bologna, he studied applications in orthodontics and orthopedics, as well nell'oggettistica, giving the colors of the rainbow with electrochemical processes. And yet environmentally friendly buildings, properly treated with titanium plates, placed on walls and facades, that the effect of UV rays degrade the toxins from cigarette smoke to car exhaust. Recipes environment on the other side, the old ceramic tableware and kitchenware is the most varied applications. Some, like the Grado Zero Espace, with liquid ceramic, has even constructed jackets. "Outshone by the plastic, this material is now new uses, ranging from surgery to the tiles that protect the Space Shuttle return to the atmosphere," says James Bertolazzi, coordinator of the European Institute of Design. "The hunt for new materials is important, but one of the biggest challenges we have is to look for unusual uses what already exists. The world is changing quickly, in a short time will have to deal with the shortage of oil. The plastic of the dashboard cars could become a real luxury. The same structure but built pottery, as designed by our students, able to ennoble the interior of the passenger, could be an alternative. " Use environmentally sustainable materials is imperative to building the new wood and aluminum, recycled endlessly, at all. But the scraps were raised to new dignity. The recipe followed by Wood for Innovation Slp resembles that of bread mixed with sawdust, wood chips, enough for a yeast bell'impasto that pushed up and dry, it becomes a hard foam, lightweight, airy, shaped in the form of panel that can be sawn, drilled and screwed to build infrastructure and mobile. From here Ingeo corn stalks, soft and stain resistant fabric that combines the properties of natural fibers and synthetics. 
And PanLin, where remnants of the linen industry are to build fire resistant doors and furniture, Clean Green Packing, starch-based flakes are very similar to polystyrene, Vulcarix, recycled glass melted aluminum nitrate, efficient and non-toxic alternative to cement and asbestos. For aesthetes, here's another recipe: carrots, cucumbers, beets and leeks, sliced \u200b\u200bvery thin sheet and dried plants that spread in the semi-transparent environments magical light effects: Vegetable paper is produced by Sandrine Paumelle in Paris. Yes, because if we talk of revolution, we can not forget an intangible but omnipresent in the world of design and architecture, and not only that: the light. Playing with materials, caresses them, transforms them, ennobles them. Grids holographic to refract the rays of the sun and in environments immerse ecstatic rainbow patterns, unpublished mixtures of plastic and glass for a light soft, colorful, rhythmic button. Essential component in architectural buildings that change color depending on the degree of radiation, making it glow at dusk of the evening. Light as a stimulus for a plastic "smart" development at MIT in Boston, which changes shape when struck by a particular wavelength, to return to its original shape once the dark. O to produce energy through futuristic "spreads photovoltaic cells", for use in situations of need integration into clothes, curtains, sheets rolled up, fully transportable. Until the Led, Light Emitting Diode, which promise to radically change the concept of lighting, with outstanding performance for power consumption and durability. Light pulses lasting a millionth of a billionth of a second, to study the infinitely small. Nanotech dream picture frame 10 000 times thinner than a human hair, cylindrical, composed of carbon atoms covered by a mantle of electrons. They are the nanotubes, basic units of new materials with mechanical, electrical and optical revolution. "These rapid pulses have been used as a hammer to analyze the optical behavior of nanotubes subjected to specific stresses," says Guglielmo Lanzani Polytechnic Milan, who led the research with the University of Padua and Los Alamos, New Mexico, "We got a movie made up of frames in rapid succession showing the cylinders vibrate and move like tiny springs to high frequencies. It is in complex experiments such as this, within the research labs, that nanotechnology poses its bases with implications for future applications surprising exceptionally resilient nanotube artificial muscles to carry drugs such as slipping on needles in the cells of our body, such as transistor or microscope tips, or to build high-strength cables like the one required for the space elevator, tens of thousands of miles long and a freight elevator that would result from the Earth satellites, structures and objects in orbit. That's it? Not really. Nanotechnology promises to transform inanimate objects and have them interact with humans: "Walls that speak to us, objects that anticipate our desires: the world of materials meekly submit to our will." Is the nanotech dream. Will this really the field of science and technology to ride the wave of change? "Maybe so, but we must not forget that at the end of nanotech is" only "technology used at the nanoscale, involving many other fields such as chemistry, physics and biology, which may reserve many surprises. In short, science is in its entirety to lead this revolution, " Elodie Ternaux concludes. So here is aircraft and ships, such as bird wings, change shape and structure to changing air currents, films composed of virus unpublished lithium batteries, copied from the surfaces of the Namibian desert beetle, to be used for microdiagnostica. Up to metamaterials: artificial materials with physical characteristics not found in nature, with which scientists think they build transparent shields that make objects invisible in them. Materials to get rid of other materials, then: this is the ultimate frontier?
