The Materials Quartet
for newcomers and experts

Toothbrushes, glasses, car doors, T-shirts. All of these are made of materials you encounter everywhere in everyday life. But materials are not all the same. They can be hard or elastic, light or heat-resistant. This quartet shows how diverse materials are and what they can do.
