Materials Science Collaborations can Accelerate Scientific Discovery

Scientists who study materials can be divided into three categories. "You have people who make things, people who make things do things, and people who try to understand why things do what they do," said Jim De Yoreo, a Battelle fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He places himself into the third category.
