We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Materials Science",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Rolls-Royce receives engineering award from
Royal Academy of Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rolls-Royce received an award for its 'contribution to technological and commercial excellence in engineering in Britain and around the world'".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Interface removes the need for data conversion from
Simpleware: "The export interface allows data created with +ScanFE to Comsol Multiphysics 3.4 for modelling and simulation without requiring re-meshing or pre-processing".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Agilent Technologies Europe
concerning its 5400 AFM/SPM system
- take a look at Modular system is made for materials science
which says: "The Agilent 5400 AFM/SPM system is a high-precision instrument offering atomic resolution for a variety of research, industry and teaching applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Granta Design, Brazilian student wins materials design challenge,
as well as Stereo microscopes promise distortion-free images from Olympus Industrial,
and Contract covers optics for space from CSMA (Centre for Surface and Materials Analysis).
