Smile Re: Materials Science & Engineering

vov! this is great. couldnot get any better for CE.
suyash : can i know what eaxctly you are working on?
because off late , materials science&metallurgy has become such a huge world of its own ranging from smart materials structure/self-assembling material structures[like sma`s ->shape memory alloys used instead of cement for structures, so debris can be brought back to life in case of calamities like earthquake`s] to plutonium metallurgy to modern composite materials[centrAl, an abbreviation of Central Reinforced Aluminium ->stronger than the carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and considerably lower manufacturing and maintenance costs.also has been recently used in aircraft wings such as the Boeing 787.] and the list goes on and on and on.

i hope that atleast from now on CE`ans may look forward for some magic of material sciences being unfolded
