They described the challenges facing toxicologists in rigorously characterizing the new materials and in understanding how nanostructures might differentially influence toxicity.
Understanding how materials behave at tiny length scales is crucial for developing future nanotechnologies.
Failure analysis is the science and technique of understanding how materials and products fail.
It has been used in critical projects such as forecasting U.S. electricity demand, identifying global climate change patterns, creating new materials for jet engines, understanding how galaxies develop and optimizing corn yield and planting patterns.
The successful formulation of these materials is promoted by understanding how rheological behaviour, which typically dictates performance, relates to underlying microstructure.
These results, which are supported by analyses of archaeological materials, have implications for understanding how past knappers manipulated their cores in order to achieve specific results.
Designing hardware or experiments that are to be located or operated in an extravehicular environment requires understanding how materials and mechanisms react to the zero-g thermal vacuum environments.
Since then, without losing the original vision, it has expanded to include understanding how materials may be disassembled as well as assembled, and the ideas are not restricted to the solid state but solution and gas phase processes are also being included.
We run an Event History Analysis on a sample of Italian researchers in the field of Materials Science, aiming at understanding how the characteristics of the research trajectories followed by scientists in academia affect their opportunities to do development of industrial applications.
Universal appeal, utility and unique materials are key to understanding how Uniqlo's founder, Tadashi Yanai, is pursuing an audacious goal: global supremacy.
