	Chemistry - Materials science
		Materials science is a multidisciplinary field focusing on functional solids, whether the function served is structural, electronic, thermal, chemical, magnetic, optical, or some combination of these.
		Evaluation of material performance is grounded in the field of engineering where that material is applied, and applying materials science requires a knowledge of the processing technologies of the material in question.
		Material properties, structure, performance, and processing are so essential and interrelated that they are often presented as the vertices of the materials science tetrahedron.

		Materials science is an applied science concerned with the relationship between the structure and properties of materials.
		Materials science is one of the hottest career areas in science, but to think of it as a single career is misleading.
		Materials scientists are employed by companies whose products are made of metals, ceramics, and rubber, for example; they work in the coatings (developing new varieties of paint) and biologics industries (designing materials that are compatible with human tissues for prosthetics and implants).

	Materials science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Materials science in a primitive form is one of the oldest forms of engineering and applied science.
		A true understanding of materials was not possible until the realization by Willard Gibbs in the second half of the 19th century of the thermodynamic properties which relate how atoms are arranged in various phases to the properties of the material.
		The basis of all materials science involves relating the desired properties and relative performance of a material in a certain application to the structure of the atoms and phases in that material through characterization.
