Materials Engineering Society (MatES) conducted the orientation session for new entrants batch under "Hello world", orientation programme of Students Technical Counsil (STC) .
The session kickstarted with a brief introduction about club and materials science.

"A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instil a love for learning."

Material engineering society (MatES) IIT Patna fraternity wishes all the teachers Happy Teachers’ Day on the birthdate of a great leader, thinker, scholar and teacher, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
We all express our heartfelt gratitude to teachers who not only taught us subjects but also lessons of life.

"India is on the moon!"
Quoted by ISRO Chairman S. Somanath, and to be remembered by every Indian for years to come. To every Indian, this marvellous achievement is a matter of pride and joy, while for every man and woman of Science, it is a moment of joy, pride, and honour and is a step towards newer possibilities.
The patience, the perseverance, the immense hard work, the hopes, the prayers, and the extraordinary will to achieve something so remarkable cannot be justified with verbs, nouns, and adjectives. The true essence of the toil lies with the scientists and engineers who gave their all for the common cause.

For the people of India, this is a moment of celebration. Even more for us, the people associated with the prestigious technical and scientific institutions, not only is this time for celebration but also the time to be inspired and be reminded of the responsibility of upholding our predecessors' work. We will hold the stance tomorrow and be endowed with the task of leading and excelling.

We congratulate ISRO and the entire team working on the Chandrayaan-3 mission for disregarding all boundaries and establishing the mark of their capabilities.
On an ending note, we plea everyone to firm their resolve and dream beyond the horizon, for the limit is not the sky.

Unleashing the Power of Carbon Nanotubes! These incredible nanostructures are revolutionizing industries with their exceptional properties. From enhancing electronics to strengthening materials, the future looks brighter with CarbonNanotubes

From plastics to teflon cookware to umbrellas we use, synthetic polymers are everywhere. They are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Many of the polymeric materials have chain-like structures which resemble polyethylene.

Today, let's look into the basics of synthetic polymers.

Hey folks

The superconductivity phenomenon was discovered in 1911 by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.
Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in certain materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic flux fields are expelled from the material.
a superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero.
An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source.

MatES is starting its series of weekly material science posts to normalize people with the exquisite discoveries, research areas, inventions, and innovations in this domain. To kickstart this series, we have "Graphene," the material that fascinates all the materials researchers' minds.

Graphene is extracted from graphite and is one - atom thick layer of sp2 hybridized C atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It's calculated that graphene is 200 times more resistant than steel and five times lighter than aluminum.

Dieudonne Dolomieu was a French geologist and mineralogist after whom the mineral dolomite was named. He was a member of the order of Malta since infancy. Following a study of the Alps (1789–90), he described dolomite (1791) The rock, which gave its name to the Dolomite Mountains where it was found, has crystals of calcium and magnesium carbonate, generally white or pinks.

As a member of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt (1798), Dolomieu was captured on the way home and imprisoned at Messina. During his imprisonment he wrote his main treatise on minerals (1801), on the margins of a Bible.

Have you ever questioned how aluminum, so soft that you can bend it with your bare hands, is used to construct aircraft? Or how Teflon, despite being plastic, can withstand high temperatures in cooking utensils?

To answer such questions and to tickle your inquisitive brains, the Materials Engineering Society, IIT Patna, brings to you the "Material Science Exhibition" and "Materials Quiz."

Join us in this exciting event to get to know the astounding domain of material science and be inspired.

We have a vast array of materials lined up for you the see and understand their unique properties and characteristics and learn about the latest research and innovations in the field of material science. From nanotechnology to biomaterials, this exhibition covers various topics and applications, demonstrating how material science is shaping the future of technology, medicine, and sustainability.

The Materials Engineering Society IIT Patna celebrates the 155th birth anniversary of the two-time Nobel prize winner and one of the most influential physicist of her era, Marie Curie.

"Carry the light of Diwali with you, and remember it on your darker days this year."

Materials Engineering Society, IIT Patna wishes you a prosperous, safe and Happy Diwali. Let us celebrate this festival with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts.

The Materials Engineering Society IIT Patna organized a successful session on Piezoelectric - The Ancient Yet Modern by Mr. Rajeev Ranjan, Professor at the Department of Materials Engineering, IISc. Bangalore. The event was organized on 17th September 2022.

Professor Ranjan covered several topics related to Piezoelectrics, ranging from the types of such materials, their production, to their interdisciplinary applications, and even gave a brief overview of the capital being invested by the government in this field. Professor Ranjan was generous enough to answer several doubts raised by the students. There were discussions on the fundamentals of piezoelectrics to the challenges to their industrial applications. It was quite a sight to see the inquisitive minds try to take a deeper dive into this realm and professor Ranjan guide them through it. Lastly, he enlightened us with some contemporary research work his team did at the labs of IISc, and gave career-oriented advice.
Kudos to the coordinators and the sub-coordinators of the MatES society, IIT Patna, for such a well-organized and informative event. We look forward to more such events being organized in the future.

MatES, IIT Patna announces its first offline guest lecture with Professor Rajeev Ranjan, from the Department of Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), visiting IIT Patna. He will deliver a lecture on the topic Piezoelectrics - The ancient yet modern. The phenomenon of piezoelectricity was discovered almost 140 years ago. Thanks to the important discoveries from time to time both in terms of fundamental understanding and novel materials, the subject has evolved remarkably over the years. In this talk, he will briefly present the essential concepts related to the subject, some new developments in the application domain and materials challenges.

The whole Indian Institute of Technology, Patna Fraternity is coordially invited to attend the lecture in the Senate Hall on Saturday, 17th September 2022, 11 AM onwards.
