As an example of a more speeifie applieation, Figure 2 illustrates a metallo-graph—a light microscope set up for the characterization of opaque samples. Figure 3 illustrates a research-grade microscope made specifically for materials science, i.e., for optically characterizing all transparent and translucent materials.

Those countries apart, if there were much more space available I could outline research institutions for materials science in the many European countries that possess them, in India, China and Korea, in Canada, Brazil, Israel. The fact that I do not implies no disrespect for the many fine experts in those lands.

Kohei Uosaki received his B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from Osaka University and his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from flinders University of South Australia. He vas a Research Chemist at Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co. Ltd. from 1971 to 1978 and a Research Officer at Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford University, U.K. bet veen 1978 and 1980 before joining Hokkaido University in 1980 as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. He vas promoted to Associate Professor in 1981 and Professor in 1990. He is also a Principal Investigator of International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) Satellite, National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) since 2008. His scientific interests include photoelectrochemistry of semiconductor electrodes, surface electrochemistry of single crystalline metal electrodes, electrocatalysis, modification of solid surfaces by molecular layers, and non-linear optical spectroscopy at interfaces. 

The author thanks Drs. S. Komatsu, H. Kanda, K. Kimoto, T. Aizawa, R. Souda, and S. Matsumoto of Advanced Materials Laboratory/National Institute for Materials Science (AML/NIMS) for their cooperation in experiments and the fruitful discussion of the results. 

During 1990—1991, while the FCCSET Committee on Industry and Technology was carrying out the extensive analysis, coordination, and planning necessary to implement a Presidential Initiative, the NSF was carrying out its own component of this analysis. An inventory of support for materials science and engineering at NSF (1991 actual expenditures) includes the following ... 

The density weighted images and their absolute quantification demonstrated through concrete drying experiments are very powerful tools for material science. 

The study of how fluids interact with porous solids is itself an important area of research [6], The introduction of wall forces and the competition between fluid-fluid and fluid-wall forces, leads to interesting surface-driven phase changes, and the departure of the physical behavior of a fluid from the normal equation of state is often profound [6-9]. Studies of gas-liquid phase equilibria in restricted geometries provide information on finite-size effects and surface forces, as well as the thermodynamic behavior of constrained fluids (i.e., shifts in phase coexistence curves). Furthermore, improved understanding of changes in phase transitions and associated critical points in confined systems allow for material science studies of pore structure variables, such as pore size, surface area/chemistry and connectivity [6, 23-25],...
