[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Materials Science within the broad Biology field (or Environmental Science?), or is it more on the Engineering side? Not sure of any specific areas of Materials Science.[/quote]

That is on the engineering and chemistry side.  Material Sciences is a hot industry because of the "electrification" of so many industries...cars, trucks, solar batteries for home, etc.  You are involved in creating new battery technologies and what not.

There is a niche industry of organic computer storage (also known as wetware computers/storage).  Sounds crazy and it is a moonshot...but it is getting funded.  I would assume it would need biology/microbiology majors (possibly you want to dual-major??), although you probably would want to structure your studying/career around this kind of technology and seek out research from the university.  Below is a paragraph of something out of Harvard from 2019:

"They don't call this the Information Age for nothing – nowadays we can access the entirety of humanity's collective knowledge from small computers in our pockets. But all that data has to be stored somewhere, and huge servers take up heaps of physical space and require huge amounts of energy. Now, researchers at Harvard have developed a new system for reading and writing information with organic molecules, which could potentially sit stable and secure for thousands of years."[/quote]
