Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization

ASM International is the world’s largest and most established materials information society. ASM connects you to a global network of peers and provides access to trusted materials information through reference content , data and research, education courses and international events; helping you to solve problems and improve materials related outcomes.

The Materials Research Society (MRS) was established in 1973 by a visionary group of scientists who shared the belief that their professional interests were broader in scope than existing single-discipline societies and that a new interdisciplinary organization was needed.

ASTM International is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of voluntary consensus standards. These standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance health and safety, strengthen market access and trade, and build consumer confidence.

The Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE ®) is a global professional member society dedicated to enabling growth and innovation in the aerospace, transportation, construction, energy, marine and industrial application industries.

The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) is a professional society that connects minerals, metals, and materials scientists and engineers who work in industry, academia, and government positions around the world.

The Materialism Podcast strives to find a balance between accessible explanations of fundamental concepts and in-depth discussions about advanced materials and techniques. Topics are contextualized using a narrative structure that helps listeners understand the critical role that materials have played in society, and glimpse into what the future may hold for new materials.

The Materials Project is a multi-institution, multi-national effort to compute the properties of all inorganic materials and provide the data and associated analysis algorithms for every materials researcher free of charge. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to drastically reduce the time needed to invent new materials by focusing costly and time-consuming experiments on compounds that show the most promise computationally. Within the Materials Project ecosystem exist several free and open source software projects that both power the Materials Project apps and support the scientific community at large.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was founded in 1901 and is now part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. It aims to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

The heart of MatWeb's services is a searchable online database of engineering materials. There are over 170,000 data sheets in the collection covering thermoplastic and thermoset polymers such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene; metals such as aluminum, cobalt, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, steel, superalloys, titanium and zinc alloys; ceramics; plus semiconductors, fibers, and other engineering materials.
