Material Science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the properties, performance, and applications of materials. It integrates principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering to understand how the structure of materials at the atomic or molecular level influences their macroscopic properties, such as strength, ductility, conductivity, and thermal stability. Material scientists investigate a wide variety of materials, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites, examining their behavior under different conditions and the mechanisms that govern their performance. This knowledge is crucial for the development of new materials and the improvement of existing ones, enabling advancements in technology, engineering, and manufacturing across various industries.
