Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coatings on Aluminum Alloys: Microstructures, Properties, and Applications Material Science The aerospace industry demands that the materials used for making aircrafts meet the required specifications of increased resistance to fatigue and corrosion, improved fracture toughness, and have high strength-to-weight ratio because of their condition of service [1,2]. Aluminum and its alloys have been the primary choice of materials in the aerospace industry since the late 1920s. Today they constitute about 70-80% of many modern aircrafts due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, easy workability, and low prices [3-6]. For example, aircrafts such as Airbus A340/A330 and Boeing 757 have their major components and load bearing structures made of aluminum alloys [7]. Although polymer composites have emerged as competitive materials in the manufacturing of aircrafts, aluminum and its alloys remain the most widely used materials in the aircraft indust...

A Future Concept in Material Science Material Science We present a future concept in material science, which we believe will lead to solve many problems researchers have experienced in the past. Our new method is a step forward to conceptualizing key experiments in material science and will provide researchers among the world an important tool towards realizing their goals. Of interest is the dynamic range, a fundamental physical variable of which description enables further developments in scientific studies.

Kesterite Solar Cells Material Science The research on photovoltaics is focusing on developing solutions that involve the employment of abundant and non-toxic raw materials, along with simple production processes. Among the light-absorbing materials, which use earth abundant elements and are easily processable, there is the class of kesterite compounds. The efficiency record has been stopped at 12.6% for five years, but the research is fervent and dedicated to solving the limitations that make the device immature for the commercial market. The involvement and collaboration of researchers from multiple disciplinary areas are feeding the knowledge of this class of materials, promoting it as a possible next leader of the photovoltaic market.
