Materials sciences

Pushing the boundaries of what we can do with high-performance materials, including metals, ceramics and polymers, electronic materials, nanomaterials, composites and biomaterials – that’s the core mission of researchers within the field of materials sciences.ÌýÌý
Recently, we’ve been developing scaffolds and implants for tissue engineering that allow for both imaging and therapeutics delivery. We’ve also been investigating ‘orally delivered’ nanomedicines for use, for example, as an alternative to opioids for the alleviation of pain or as combat against MRSA infections. And in the never-ending quest to uncover the materials for next generation’s technology, there are semi-conductors that can be grown for ultra-small devices and quantum computing.
