Well, not quite: materials scientists in France, Germany and the US had, unbeknown to him, already discovered that adding chromium to steel changed the electrode potential of its surface by creating a stable and transparent oxide layer, making it resistant to rusting.
We visit some of the world's leading materials scientists in two leading carbon research centres.
Ion bombardment is an important physical tool available to materials scientists in the design of new materials and new structures.
Perhaps another 60,000 materials scientists in North America (with a similar number in Europe and Asia) work in other areas, including manufacturing and professional services.
The development of new energy resources has been of great interest to materials scientists in recent years, because the traditional fossil fuels were gradually exhausted.
These complex structures, which have risen from hundreds of million years of evolution, are inspiring Materials Scientists in the design of novel materials.
That's just one example from materials scientists in Brazil that illustrates the possibilities for increasing efficiency, while scoring environmental points by cutting waste….
Common themes in the contributed articles are highlighted and a special appeal is made for collaboration between toxicologists and materials scientists in the joint development of "green" nanomaterial formulations -those co-optimized for function and minimal health impact.
The materials scientist is, in fact, the assemblyman's nephew, or perhaps more precisely, half-nephew.
Early in their investigations, material scientists in the German-Swiss group proposed that sauropod bone had superior mechanical properties compared with large mammal bone, which would have given these dinosaurs stronger skeletons to support heftier bodies.
