Second, these basic disciplines, through materials science and engineering, have countless industrial applications that ben efit society. From seat belts and computers to items as basic and mundane as coffee filters, materials science and engineering contributes to the creation of products that allow us to perform daily tasks more safely and efficiently.

In addition to the Materials World Modules program, Northwestern University has recently embarked on a collaborative effort with the Intel corporation to promote student participation in science fairs at seven sites in six states. This "Winning with Inquiry" initiative will involve the use of Materials World Modules, introducing students to materials science and technology.

Today, we sit at another threshold in the development of neutron scattering. Pulsed spalIation neutron sources, based on neutrons produced by bombarding heavy metal atoms with high-energy protons, are demonstrating exceptional promise in neutron scattering from studies of superconductivity to nondestructive measurements of internal stresses in turbine engines.

An example of a smaller facility is the DOE-supported Materials Research Laboratory at the University of TIlinois, Urbana-Champaign. Characterization capabilities include Auger electron spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and x-ray diffraction.

It is critical to realize the important role that smaller-scale fa cilities play reports of microcharacterization appear in 30 percent of recently published materials physics articles and in 45 percent of materials chemistry articles. Facilities offer the ability to maintain and operate such capabilities efficiently.
