How does materials science affect our lives?

<p>It may not be a very well-known discipline but materials science is really important. Laura, Jasmin and Emma discuss how graphene is made, what makes it a wonder material, what it can be used for and how it can contribute to making environmentally friendly products. They also talk about a much more mature material which influenced the second industrial revolution: steel. This alloy might be old technology but it’s vital for modern life.</p> <p>This episode was recorded with an audience from the <a href='https://www.etrust.org.uk/'>Engineering Development Trust</a>'s Routes to STEM course.</p>
