Cutting Edge Materials: Videos
A video produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) shows researchers at the Department of Engineering, University of Liverpool, undertaking world-beating research into advanced materials.
The video is presented as a whole and, for ease of use, also in six sections:
Materials scientists: Describes the work of the materials scientists in the Engineering Department of Liverpool University and discusses why their work is important (3:23)
Building with atoms: Using a 'clean room' and investigating the science of extremely small working structures (4:36)
Investigating super small: The SuperSTEM project uses a new electron microscope which provides 'wonderful resolution' for studying atoms (5:17)
New materials 1: What useful properties does titanium nitride have and how can it be used? (1:26)
New materials 2: Describes a technique to create a porous metal and discusses its advantages and possible applications (2:05)
Becoming a materials scientist: How and why do people become materials scientists? (6:04)
