Today’s world of convenience, speed and comfort is possible because of materials science. From the cars we drive and the clothes we wear to the electronic devices that consume our lives, highly engineered materials make it all happen. The future of sustainable resource use (and reuse) will depend on the materials and processes we develop today. This week’s seminar, “Living in a Material World” will highlight the central role materials play in our lives. Marlann Patterson from the Physics Department and Matthew Ray from the Chemistry Department will introduce the topic of materials science and present recent results of research performed by Applied Science students in the Materials and Nanoscience concentration.
