Although humanity has thousands of years of history in studying, creating, and tinkering with materials, materials science did not become a formal field until the foundation of the world’s first Materials Science and Engineering department at Northwestern University in 1955. The highly disciplinary nature of materials science requires an understanding of physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as chemical, mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering. A discovery in the field often takes collaborative work from top talents in these fields.
