Modern versions are frequently made with synthetic red iron oxide.

Modern synthetic stones are generally of equal quality to natural stones, and are often considered superior in sharpening performance due to consistency of particle size and control over the properties of the stones.

Modern dosimeters are made of a range of materials, such as alanine pellets, perspex ( PMMA ) blocks, and radiochromic films, as well as special solutions and other materials.

Modern materials science evolved directly from metallurgy, which itself evolved from mining and ( likely ) ceramics and the use of fire.

Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials and finally reclamation of the land to prepare it for other uses once the mine is closed.

Modern tanks possess very thick composite armour consisting of layers of steel, ceramics, plastics and Kevlar, and these materials have melting points well above the burning temperature of gasoline, which makes the vehicles themselves invulnerable to Molotov cocktails.

Modern designs may also include a steerable nozzle for guidance, avionics, recovery hardware ( parachutes ), self-destruct mechanisms, APUs, controllable tactical motors, controllable divert and attitude control motors, and thermal management materials.

Modern design and fabrication techniques, along with advanced materials such as graphite, boron and fibreglass composites as well as stainless steel ( see Emmrod )- have allowed rod makers to tailor both the shape and action of fishing rods for greater casting distance, accuracy, and fish-fighting qualities.

Modern fly reels typically have more sophisticated disc-type drag systems made of composite materials that feature increased adjustment range, consistency, and resistance to high temperatures from drag friction.
