Chemists and Materials Scientists 2 Work environment Chemists and materials scientists usu-ally work regular hours in offices and laboratories R&D chem-ists and materials scientists spend much time in laboratories but also work in offices when they do theoretical research or plan, record, and report on their lab research Although some labo-
Engineered materials will certainly play an important role in enabling these solutions, and the workshop participants considered it important to introduce materials science and engineering concepts into K-12 curricula to educate both the next generation of scientists and engineers as well as to make the next generation materials science literate
To build a spacecraft, we must begin with materials Sometimes the material choice is the solution Other times, the design must accommodate the limitations of materials properties The design of the Space Shuttle systems encountered many material challenges, such as weight savings, reusability, and operating in the space environment
Material scientists find outwhat makes materials degrade which helps predict when things are likely to stop working properly This is important in things like aeroplanes, as we would not want any parts
Engineering nature to make materials By Philip Ball Philip Ball, Science Writer, Nature, London, UK B iological materials have long been a source of both inspiration and envy to materials scientists Wood, bone, na-cre, silk, and muscle all show remarkable properties such as toughness, strength, and adaptability, while being produced
