Emerging Materials and Nanotechnology

Materials Chemistry and Physics

Materials science is a syncretic discipline hybridizing metallurgy, ceramics, solid-state physics, and chemistry. The interdisciplinary field of materials science also commonly termed materials science and engineering, interrelates the structure, properties and performance of materials. The roots of materials science emerge from the analytical thinking of researches in chemistry, physics and engineering. Most of the scientific problems humans presently face is due to the limits of the materials that are available. Thus, breakthroughs in materials science are likely to affect the future of technology significantly.
