Materials
Materials science is a branch of science in its own right, studying the properties of materials, understanding these and relating them to the microstructure, predicting how materials will behave in a huge range of situations and environments, and designing new materials for novel applications. In this topic we shall just touch on the basic bulk properties and behaviour of solids.
