The development of materials science largely determines the progress of modern mechanical engineering, since it is the creation of new materials and the development of advanced technologies that make it possible to create a new, unparalleled technique. The development of the most important industries is associated with the progress of materials science: mechanical engineering, chemistry, construction, transport, shipbuilding, aircraft construction, the creation of new types of space technology. The scientific and technological revolution and such new branches of technology as rocket science, energy, control of thermonuclear processes, space exploration, high-energy physics also owe their appearance to the progress of materials science.
