Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the relationship between the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. Materials science aims at creating or transforming existing materials as well as enhancing materials to give better performance for particular applications.
Life science refers to the fields of science that involve the scientific study of processes and structures of living organisms. While biology remains the centerpiece of the life sciences, related fields such as biochemistry, biophysics, or medicine are also included. Life science applications aim at understanding organisms and their place in the ecosystem.
