Abstract

In our everyday lives, we continuously use top products made by material scientists: these include materials with electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and biocompatible properties. Today and in the future, little can be done without high-tech materials; they are the basic building blocks for all modern technologies, from information and communication to medicine, energy and the environment to traffic and transportation.
