The world around us is built out of materials we know and understand. Materials science and engineering is the study of why materials behave the way they do, how we can use their properties to our advantage, and how we can manipulate them to behave in the way we want. Understanding materials at a fundamental level, whether in the smallest nano-wire or the longest steel bridge, opens the door to endless possibilities of what we can create, innovate, and make a reality.
