Research Aspects of Materials Science
The Materials Science and Engineering Tetrahedra below highlight and describe the relationships among the many aspects of materials science:
Synthesis and processing
Developing new materials and modifying materials after or during their manufacture.
Structure and characterization
Studying the manner in which atoms are arranged using a wide variety of instrumentation.
Properties
How materials behave or interact with the environment such as how they conduct heat.
Modeling and simulation
Using mathematical and computational tools to study and predict structure, properties, and processing.
