• Materials science covers chemistry, physics and engineering.
  • From a chemical perspective it involves the design and molecular assembly of new smart materials that are useful chemically, physically or both.
  • Every day scientists are inventing new molecules and materials for a growing range of applications that will make positive differences in people's lives.
  • Clean energy systems, better sensors for disease, smart drug delivery systems, more efficient farming technologies, green and sustainable polymers and plastics all arise from a knowledge of contemporary materials research.
