Engineering Composite Materials

Towards systems materials engineering.

Materials science has evolved over the past decades so that there is now an increasing need for efforts from the various subfields of materials science and engineering to come together to solve grand challenges. Such issues were discussed at a symposium on energy at the Collège de France1 that involved both the socio-economical stakes as well as the technological challenges. Indeed, nowhere has...

Engineering Living Functional Materials

Natural materials, such as bone, integrate living cells composed of organic molecules together with inorganic components. This enables combinations of functionalities, such as mechanical strength and the ability to regenerate and remodel, which are not present in existing synthetic materials. Taking a cue from nature, we propose that engineered 'living functional materials' and 'living material...

A surveying optical diffractometer.

I N T R O D U C T I O N Optical diffraction and filtering of electron micrographs offers an objective method for analysing periodic structures. Because the preservation of detail in electron micrographs usually is not perfect, many micrographs must be examined and assessed to identify images suitable for analysis. I t is useful to have an instrument that allows one to survey many dozens of elec...
