Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...

An object is something that you can touch. A material is what the object is made from. When we choose a material, we need to select the right one for the object it will finally become. For example ...

One material property that is widely used and recognized is the strength of a material. But what does the word "strength" mean? "Strength" can have many meanings, so let us take a closer look at what ...

This new look honors timeless materials with wall-to-wall stone, tile, wood, fabric, and more. Last year, all-over color ...

We engineer materials on atomic, nano, micro and macro scales to control their properties and generate advanced performance. After synthesizing materials, we characterize them using state-of-the-art ...
