Deserts = materials science in action 🌵
Silica → glass + electronics
Quartz → sensors + timing
Temperature swings → rock breakdown
Even the landscape behind Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is built on materials that shape our world.

Happy National Burrito Day from Georgia Tech MSE 🌯
From composite tortillas to phase transformations in melted cheese, a burrito highlights how materials science appears in everyday life. Engineering concepts are not limited to labs. They are all around us, even at lunch.
From the MILL to the Moon 🚀
Students came together yesterday for an Artemis II watch party and watched the next chapter of human space exploration unfold. Materials science plays a key role in making missions like this possible and the future is bright.

Sundaresan Jayaraman, Georgia Tech MSE, is turning bedsheets into sensors that prevent pressure injuries. Materials science in action, improving patient care: www.mse.gatech.edu/news/penicil... #GeorgiaTechMSE #HealthcareInnovation #PatientSafety
Happy Pi Day! 🥧
π appears in more than geometry. In materials science, it shows up in equations describing atomic packing, crystal dislocations, and diffusion—helping researchers understand how atoms arrange themselves and move through materials.
Shining a light on WiMSE, Georgia Tech’s student organization for women in Materials Science and Engineering! A welcoming space for connection, support, and growth. #WomenInSTEM #WiMSE

BMH Materials Spotlight: Madam C. J. Walker
By experimenting with ingredient composition and performance, she developed specialized hair care formulations tailored to the material properties of Black hair.
Her work demonstrates how engineering principles apply to everyday materials
Engineering a more sustainable future starts in the classroom 🌎 This article from the Georgia Tech Center for Teaching and Learning highlights how Dr. Sarah Goodman redesigned MSE 2001 using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Read more: www.mse.gatech.edu/news/shaping...
For Black History Month: Marie Maynard Daly. She linked cholesterol to heart disease and studied how arteries change under stress — science that underpins modern vascular biomaterials. 🧬 Chemistry that helps us design materials for the human body. #BlackHistoryMonth #Biomaterials
Happy Presidents’ Day 🎉 Materials of George Washington’s teeth: human + animal enamel, ivory, gold alloy, lead-tin alloy, and steel springs. The ivory absorbed moisture and swelled, creating stress between materials and long-term mechanical instability 😭🦷 #MaterialsScience #Biomaterials
