Welcome to the Materials Science & Technology Division

The Division currently has ten constituent committees reflecting the major objective of the Division, which is to facilitate the application of fundamental physical, chemical and engineering principles to the needs of industry across a broad sector range. This includes materials' production, processing, fabrication and end user industries. The Division seeks to identify, encourage and support relevant basic and applied research and to help industry benefit through, for example, problem solving, cost reduction or new product development.

Growing up with nanowires

European researchers have devised a technology for ‘growing’ nanowires in a vertical configuration, which they say could lead to smaller, faster and more energy-efficient computer microchips. The project focused on combining silicon nanowires with indium arsenide and germanium substrates to overcome previous problems of using a gold catalyst.

Jumping ahead at BAE

Show jumper by night and materials engineer by day, Danielle Burrows straddles both areas comfortably. The engineer at BAE Systems’ site in Blackburn, UK, chats to Rupal Mehta about how her unflappable attitude towards new challenges and pressures has helped her settle into her job with no previous materials background.
