What materials have you touched today? In today's society, virtually every segment of our personal and professional lives is influenced by the limitations, availability, and economic considerations of the materials used. Through readings and science documentaries, this course will show you how and why certain materials are selected for different applications and how the processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials are intrinsically linked. You will be introduced to the basic science and technology of materials, how the world has been shaped by materials, and how knowledge of materials can be used to understand modern materials and the development of new ones.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Researchers from Sun-Bio Medical Device Company have designed a new drug that delivers a one-two punch to lung cancer cells. Shown to be potent against human tumor cells grafted onto nude mice, the drug is a promising candidate for treating lung cancer in humans. Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, lung cancer remains the deadliest form of the disease. Surgery and chemotherapy are two go-to methods for treatment. Unfortunately, neither is 100% effective. That has many researchers turning to more precise, molecular-level targeting strategies—most notably by using antibodies. Researchers can design antibodies to lock onto and disrupt receptors that keep cancer cells alive and replicating. And not just one type at a time. So-called bispecific antibodies seek out two targets at once and have proven therapeutically more effective than their single-target counterparts..."
