Applied Physics and Materials Science

Material Science and Engineering

Material Science is the study of the relationship among different aspects such as properties, structure, performance and processing among the materials. It involves around the discovery and design of unknown and new materials with more significance given to solids. The foundation of material science had only started when researchers began performing analytical thinking from chemistry, physics and engineering to understand the earliest observations in metallurgy as well as mineralogy. Materials science is a syncretic study of ceramics, hybridizing metallurgy, solid-state physics and chemistry. It is the first academic discipline evolved by fusion rather than fission.
