3 unusual facts about materials science


Ca' Foscari University of Venice

Chemical studies are now applied to industry, restoration and materials engineering, with a particular focus on nanotechnologies and biotechnologies.

Chemical property

Materials science will normally consider the chemical properties of a substance to guide its applications.

Saud bin Saqr al Qasimi

RAK- CAM is envisioned to become a flagship for advanced Materials science research in the Middle East that addresses critical issues in areas such as alternative energy sources, construction, water purification and environmental preservation.


4989 Joegoldstein

It was named by Dr. Bus in honor of Joseph I. Goldstein, who was a professor of materials science at the time, in honor of Dr. Goldstein's contributions to the understanding of outer-space materials.

AGA cooker

Gustaf Dalen lost his sight in an explosion while developing his earlier invention, a porous substrate for storing gases, Agamassan.

Egyptian pyramid construction techniques

Materials scientist Joseph Davidovits has claimed that the blocks of the pyramid are not carved stone, but mostly a form of limestone concrete and that they were "cast" as with modern concrete.

Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering

Within the Engineering program, students may concentrate in Computing (E:C), Bioengineering (E:BE), Materials Science (E:MS), Systems Design (E:SYS), or they may design their own concentrations with the administration's approval.

Gebze Institute of Technology

The institute, which has been giving education at graduate level in its four faculties since 1994, has began to offer undergraduate education in the departments of Physics, Mathematics, Materials Science, Computer Engineering and Electronics Engineering in 2001 and Architecture and Business in 2008.

Herbertsmithite

A polymorph of kapellasite and closely related to paratacamite, herbertsmithite is generally found in and around Anarak, Iran, hence its other name, anarakite.

Rodney H. Banks

In 1980, he received his Ph.D. in inorganic/physical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked for Nobel laureate and fellow Perkin medal winner Glenn Seaborg on the synthesis and characterization of volatile actinide compounds.

Split-Hopkinson pressure bar

The Split-Hopkinson pressure bar, named after Bertram Hopkinson, sometimes also called a Kolsky bar, is an apparatus for testing the dynamic stress-strain response of materials.

Underpotential deposition

The occurrence of underpotential deposition is often interpreted as a result of a strong interaction between the electrodepositing metal M with the substrate S (of which the electrode is built).
