Chemical warfare is one of the most devastating forms of conflict. It leverages toxic chemicals to disable, harm or kill ...

materials science is a discipline of immense social consequence. As a materials scientist, I'm interested in what can happen when new materials become available. Glass, steel and rare earth magnets ...

A bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering or a related engineering field from an ABET-accredited institution is also a requirement for most entry-level positions. What Tasks Do ...

Alongside this new science came new and improved scientific tools. Scientists can now see materials at a much finer scale, with the electron microscope making individual atoms visible.

As a materials science and engineering major at UC Davis some years ago (The X-Files was on TV, but there were no DVRs), I waded through math, chemistry, physics and introductory engineering classes ...

Explore the fascinating world of viscosity,a core concept in fluid mechanics that describes a fluid's resistance to flow.

Those materials need to endure temperatures that could be higher than 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit for long stretches. “The blast furnace—you never stop it,” Dunand says.

Other examples of industrially important but rare elements include gold (electrical interconnects) and platinum (catalysis, e.g. in fuel cells), which also highlights the need for new materials ...
