What is Materials Science?

Ah, the Brits and their wacky, variable accents.

Most of the video is understandable even by non-British folks. Admittedly, it is helpful to know that The Shard mentioned at 0:25 is a tall, glass-covered building in London.

This video would fit in nicely when we talk in our summer workshops when we ask the 'students' to define material science. It goes through a nice overview of what material science covers - properties of different material categories (metal, ceramics, polymer, corrosion). We also get the idea that it's a bridge between technology and science as well as how material scientists try to improve and change the properties of the materials under study as well as development of new materials.

Nice vid
