Scienza dei materiali

Materials Science is a constantly evolving interdisciplinary field , which seeks to develop innovative solutions to the technological challenges of the present and future . Materials scientists seek to understand the correlation between the properties of materials and their structure at the microscopic and molecular level, in order to develop materials with functional properties for specific technological applications.

Materials Science involves chemistry , physics , earth sciences , biology , engineering , mathematics , and data science , affecting many application fields, such as energy, electronics, architecture, high fashion, automotive, medicine, and many others. Materials scientists seek to develop materials with specific properties, such as strength, hardness, conductivity, transparency, biocompatibility, and sustainability, and to understand how these materials can be produced efficiently and sustainably.
