Why are metallic materials considered an important area of study in materials engineering, what is their historical background and modern applications?

W

Metallic materials are an important area of study in materials engineering due to their long history and diverse physical properties. They also have great potential for modern applications, such as finding ways to make metals harder and more durable, and developing new materials using nanotechnology. Understanding the properties and applications of these metallic materials can help solve a wide...

Should embryonic stem cell research continue at the risk of bioethical issues and research safety?

S

It is argued that embryonic stem cell research should be stopped due to bioethical concerns and research safety issues. Embryos should be respected as living beings with the potential to differentiate into human beings and should not be subjected to the risks of incomplete research. Instead, alternatives such as adult stem cell research should be used to advance biotechnology.   Science and...
