What is the future scope in metallurgy and material science engineering?

Image
Metallurgy is an old field of science and unconventional field of engineering, which students generally don't prefer because they think, this field is not in much demand. Actually, this field is the mother of every other field. Just imagine world without metals and non-metals. It's unimaginable. Modernization of the human race started due to discovery in this field. The big machines (mechanical), automobiles, chemical engineering , etc. Boom in new discoveries in Metallurgy gave boom in Industrialization, it will remain as an important branch of engineering and science. People will always use metal and non-metal for numerous purposes. Guess what!? In future there would be robots extracting precious metals on other planets. Imagine world without Iron, Steel, Copper, Gold, etc…., Technology of extraction, purification may change but the need of this field will always remain. Materials science is the branch of future, whether it's nanotechnology or polymers or composite ...

What are the next big trends in materials science?

Image
Though it is huge field, and covers vast topics, here are top five: ·           Bio-materials  and Tissue Engineering ·          Ceramics and glasses ·          Nanotechnology ·          Functional materials (materials having their unique properties like feoorelectricity.) ·          Engineering alloys (for various applications) Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering: Tissue engineering  is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the regeneration of functional human  tissues . ... The classic paradigm relies on a combination of  biomaterial  scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules to orchestrate  tissue  formation and integration within the host environment. Ceramics and glasses: Ceramics and glasses  are inorganic, nonmetalli...

What is Nanomedicine used for?

Image
Nanomedicine is one of the applications of nanotechnology used in diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and control of biological systems . Nanomedicine uses nanoscale manipulation of materials to improve medicine delivery. Thus, Nanomedicine has facilitated the treatment against various diseases. According to Nanobiotix (a Nanomedicine company), in 2015, around 230 Nanomedicine products were identified, which are either marked or are in the trial phase. Moreover, as per the company, there are 49 Nanomedicine products in the market, whereas 122 products are in the clinical pipeline either in Phase II or Phase III trials. On the basis of indication, it is categorized into oncological diseases, neurological diseases, urological diseases, infectious diseases, ophthalmological diseases, orthopaedic disorders, immunological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and others.

Nano Robotics Applications in Treating Tumor

Image
In recent times Nanotechnology has been the most interesting field in science. Nano robots are minute to the scale of micro-meters which are the size of our body’s cell. The Nano robots have cameras which can seep into the body for vision and better diagnosis than conventional methods. The most recent research has made it possible for the Nano robots to even cure cancer. Cancer has always been the major reason for sufferings and deaths. Therefore it has been the most challenging for science to find a cure to this illness. Therefore the nanotechnologists took to this task. They then succeeded at that by inventing the Nano robots also called as the bacteria robots. To understand better about how the bots can cure cancer is to first understand how cancer occurs. Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. The unwanted accumulation of cells is harmful for the body and can be dangerous eno...
