    Materials science, often known as materials science and engineering, is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the design and discovery of novel materials, particularly solids. Materials science has its philosophical roots in the Enlightenment, when academics began to apply analytical reasoning from chemistry, physics, and engineering to old, phenomenological data in metallurgy and mineralogy. Physics, chemistry, and engineering are all still used in materials science. As a result, academic institutions have long regarded the field as a sub-field of these connected fields. Materials science became more widely acknowledged as a distinct branch of science and engineering in the 1940s, and major technical colleges throughout the world established specialised schools to study it. Materials scientists emphasize understanding, how the history of a material (processing) influences its st.. View More»
