THE BIG PICTURE
The Parts that Make the Whole
To study materials science you must take a larger view of the world. Instead of angstrom-sized atoms of interest to physicists and chemists you need to widen your horizons and look at the nano-meter and micro-meter scales where atoms organise themselves into continuous three-dimensional structures that grow into the ceramics, plastics and metals of the visible world. The properties of these structures – and how they can be modified and made suitable for technological applications – are the domain of the materials scientist.
THE WHAT
What is Materials Science?
The science of materials lies at the heart of our physical world and underpins human development. Briefly, it is the study of the composition, structure and processing of materials taking into account their properties and uses .
Materials science has always fascinated physicists and scientists. Throughout history, mankind has tried to master this science to unlock the mysteries of life itself. Society as we know it today owes a huge debt to the early efforts of scientists working to develop better, stronger, more efficient materials for use in industrial systems, home appliances, leisure equipment, medical devices and just about everything we touch in our daily lives.

VUE D’ENSEMBLE
Les parties formant le tout
Pour étudier la science des matériaux, il faut considérer le monde sous un angle plus large. A la place des atomes de la taille d’un angström qui intéressent les physiciens et les chimistes, élargissons nos horizons pour nous aventurer dans le domaine du nanomètre et du micromètre, où les atomes s’organisent en structures tri-dimensionnelles continues, devenant la céramique, le plastique et les métaux du monde visible. Les propriétés de ces structures – et la façon dont elles peuvent être modifiées pour être utilisées pour des applications technologiques – sont du domaine de la science des matériaux.
QUOI
Qu’est-ce que la Science des Matériaux?
La science des matériaux est au centre de notre monde physique et à la base du développement humain. En bref, c’est l’étude de la composition, de la structure et de la transformation des matériaux, avec la prise en compte de leurs propriétés et de leurs emplois .
La science des matériaux a toujours fasciné physiciens et scientifiques. A travers l’histoire, l’Homme a tenté de maîtriser cette science afin d’élucider les mystères de la vie elle-même. Notre société actuelle doit énormément aux premiers efforts des scientifiques travaillant pour mettre au point des matériaux de meilleure qualité, plus résistants et plus efficaces, afin de les utiliser dans les systèmes industriels, les électroménagers, l’industrie des loisirs, les appareils médicaux et pratiquement tout ce qui touche à la vie de tous les jours.
Italian to French: Association Etna Natural Touring
Source text - Italian "A muntagna", così chiamata dai siciliani, è collocata tra i due fiumi Simeto e Alcantara. La sua altezza (3350 metri slm) supera di gran lunga tutti gli altri rilievi dell'Isola e, giungendovi in cima, lo sguardo può spaziare fino alle Isole Eolie e alle alture del palermitano.
L'edificio etneo poggia su un basamento sedimentario, risalente ad una quindicina di milioni di anni fa, su questo zoccolo sedimentario si è lentamente costruita tutta la struttura dell'Etna, originatasi dalla sovrapposizione di prodotti emessi da numerosi centri eruttivi che si sono succeduti nel tempo. L'Etna viene considerato un vulcano multiplo, formato da più centri eruttivi comparsi in diversi moemnti.
La nascita del vulcano risale a circa mezzo milione di anni fa:
- All'origine l'attività eruttiva è stata di carattere sottomarino, avendo luogo all'interno di un ampio golfo che occupava nel pleistocene quasi tutta l'area dove sorge l'Etna attuale. Le vulcaniti relative alle eruzioni sottomarine avvenute nell'ampio golfo preetneo si rinvengono oggi solo nelle zone di Acicastello, Acitrezza e Ficarazzi e sono caratterizzate da lave a cuscini (pillow) e brecce ialoclastiche (vetro rotto). Lo stadio di questa prima evoluzione etnea è chiamato "livello toleitico basale (LTB), caratteristico di lave povere di silice (magmi toleitici).
Translation - French "A muntagna", ainsi l’appellent les Siciliens, se trouve entre deux fleuves, le Simeto et l’Alcantara. Sa hauteur (3350 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer) dépasse de loin tous les autres reliefs de l’île, et, lorsqu’on arrive au sommet, le regard peut embrasser une vue qui s’étend jusqu’aux Iles Éoliennes et aux hauteurs dominant Palerme.
L’édifice de l'Etna s’appuie sur un plateau sédimentaire, qui remonte à environ quinze millions d’années. Sur ce socle sédimentaire, s’est lentement bâtie toute la structure de l'Etna, prenant son origine dans la superposition de matériaux crachés par de nombreux centres d’éruption qui se sont succédé dans le temps. L'Etna est considéré comme un volcan multiple, formé par plusieurs foyers éruptifs apparus à différents moments.
La naissance du volcan remonte à environ un demi-million d’années :
- A l'origine, l'activité éruptive était de caractère sous-marin, survenant à l'intérieur d’un large golfe qui, au Pléistocène, occupait presque toute la zone où s’élève l'actuel Etna. Les vulcanites résultant d’éruptions sous-marines survenues dans le vaste golfe pré-etnéen ne se rencontrent plus que dans les régions d’Acicastello, Acitrezza et Ficarazzi. Elles se caractérisent par des laves en coussins (pillows lava) et des brèches de hyaloclastites (verre cassé). Le niveau de cette première évolution etnéenne se nomme "niveau tholéitique de base" (LTB), caractéristique des laves pauvres en silice (magmas tholéitiques).
