10th Workshop on Science in Archaeology

"Printing Functional Materials"Jennifer A. Lewis, Harvard University

Almost everything around you - the clothes you wear, the dishes you eat from, the computer you use, the bike you ride or the car you drive - is made of stuff. Materials science and engineering is the study of that stuff: what it's made of, how it works and what we can do with it.
