"after racing on this boat, everyone on board can safely say that they've hit the pinnacle of their sailing career. I mean, what else could naval architects come up with that is more ridiculously awesome than this?"

"Materials Engineering is so much a part of our daily lives that it is very often difficult for people to immediately identify them. Ever heard of the saying, "Can't see the forest for the trees?" Well, that's very much the situation of informing people about how involved their lives are all day -- every day with materials. "

"New materials have been among the greatest achievements of every age and they have been central to the growth, prosperity, security, and quality of life of humans since the beginning of history. It is always new materials that open the door to new technologies, whether they are in civil, chemical, construction, nuclear, aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, biomedical or electrical engineering."

"Materials Science and Engineering major, with concentrations offered in Biomaterials and Nanotechnology. As expected, the program provided a solid grounding in what materials science really is. Students explore materials from the atomic level all the way through crystal structures, multiphase systems, and bulk properties. You'll have an opportunity to learn why objects' matter matters. You'll explore the details of why glass shatters, metal bends, and rubber bounces back-and that's just in one class on mechanical properties. If you're more interested in how the circuits in your computer are fabricated, or why hip replacements are made of titanium instead of aluminum, you won't even have to go looking for courses in other departments. Materials Science is one of the most fundamental, and therefore most interdisciplinary, fields that exists today. In many core classes, you'll find more students from other majors than from the department itself."

"3D-Printed "Magic Arms" Help Little Girl Play and Hug 2-year-old Emma wanted to play with blocks, but a condition called arthrogryposis meant she couldn't move her arms. So researchers at a Delaware hospital 3D printed a durable custom device with the tiny, lightweight custom parts she needed. Emma calls them her "magic arms.""

Researchers have found a way to make multiple high-performance anodes from a single silicon wafer. The process uses simple silicon to replace graphite as an element in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, laying the groundwork for longer-lasting, more powerful batteries for such applications as commercial electronics and electric vehicles.

"The corsair had always been a favorite of mine, so I decided to build its tail fin and rudder to see what it would look like in aluminum. I also decided on moveable trim tabs and rudder and planned to use it as a decorative piece if I could complete it. At this point the tail was my only objective. Had I considered building an entire plane at this point I would have surely become discouraged and never started."

"you do not need a pristine laboratory to build a composite airplane. Like most aircraft building projects, if you have a 2-car garage you have what is needed. It has been my experience that having your workshop in or near your home solves two problems. First of all, you will be much more likely to spend time on the project after getting home from work versus having to drive 30 minutes to another location. This equates to more hours on the actual project. Secondly, your family is more likely to become involved. This is very important if you are to successfully complete the project."

Yelena and Maria, the founders of the Moebius Noodles community and mathusiastic moms. We are inviting you to join ?Moebius Noodles Improv,? a parent and educator online class, during the first three weeks of November. Click "Participate" button to sign up: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/moebius-noodles-improv/content/full-description/ In our previous classes, we showed quite a few games for teaching advanced math concepts to young children in a relaxing and fun way that engages the entire family. This time around, we will teach you how to create your own games that fit your child?s unique interests and learning preferences. We will give you the confidence to improvise and create math games on the fly. The class is a cooperative, peer-to-peer gathering of adventurous grown-ups who want to enjoy advanced math with babies, toddlers and young kids. Think of it more like a get-together at your favorite coffee shop than a ?prim and proper? class.

On December 23, 1986, "Voyager" completed the first nonstop, non-refueled flight around the world. A unique aircraft constructed almost entirely of lightweight graphite-honeycomb composite materials and laden with fuel, "Voyager" lifted off from Edwards Air Force Base, California, at 8:01 a.m. on December 14, 1986. It returned nine days later at 8:05 a.m.

Homebuilt aircrafts are built of a very wide variety of materials, wood, steel, aluminum, composites and fabric. Although most have a combination of these materials involved in their construction, there are basic configurations. All metal, all wood, composites and tube and fabric also know as tube and rag.
