I'm going to be trying out some new/different sources for the articles I've been sharing (and possibly phasing out the old sources altogether), so if you notice anything different, that's why! There will probably be some new tags as well, but I'm still putting that list together.
As always, feedback is welcome!

Welcome to 2026 everyone! I thought I'd wrap up 2025 with a couple quick tag stats! This sort of roundup wouldn't be possible without some tools, so shout out to drunkonschadenfreude.com, which is what I used to generate a list of tags. There are 181 pages on my blog from 2025, with ten posts on each page, minus the last page which only has nine from 2025, so I took a look at the tags for my last 1809 posts.
My top ten tags were:
Polymers (257)
Nanotechnology (199)
Electronics (185)
Materials processing (163)
Biomaterials (159)
Computational materials science (145)
Catalysts (118)
Materials characterization (103)
Reactions (101)
2D materials (100)
The elements that got tagged the most in 2025 were Iron (50), Hydrogen (50), Carbon (39), Copper (39), Aluminum (29), Gold (24), Nickel (24), Titanium (24), Silicon (23), Oxygen (22), Lithium (21), Bismuth (21), and Gallium (21)!
And of unique materials (rather than categories of materials, like polymers or catalysts), Water (61), Graphene (30), Cellulose (25), and Carbon dioxide (22) were posted about the most.
Happy new year, and thanks for being there in 2025!
If you've been here a while, you might have noticed that I did some themed posts on sound/acoustics in March, and on color in June. I missed the planned September topic (I plan to get around to that maybe March of next year), but the December topic—computational materials science—is on track, so expect some posts on a handful of different computational materials science methods over the next month! The tag will be Dec25Posts, or you could just search the general Computational materials science tag on the blog, or my personal tag for posts I write, MyMSEPost.
Alright folks, that's a wrap on the elemental posts! Thanks for all the likes and reblogs over the years, but I have officially run through them three times, and the information in them is getting a little outdated! (Did you know, when I started them, the last few elements didn't even have names yet? That's how old this blog is!)
So, I am officially retiring the element posts. They'll always be available for viewing on the blog (you can find links for all the tags here).
Thanks again, and I hope you enjoyed the little daily tidbits over the years!
What's your favorite metal (pure elemental as well as alloy)?
Terribly sorry, this got lost in my drafts and has been sitting there for months! Oops!
Great question, though, thanks!
I have a fondness for titanium and titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V), simply because that's what I have the most experience with, I know the microstructures it can form, processing methods, phase transformations, etc. So titanium is at the top of my list.
But, honorable mentions:
Cobalt. I really like cobalt blue. And cobalt is a cool element by itself.
I also really like tungsten. Not sure if it's the name/symbol combination, or if it's just the heaviest element I'm probably ever going to hold (I mean, there's gold, but, eh. Gold's more impressive for its non-reactivity.) in a decent size, or if it's all of tungsten's many "awards" (highest melting and boiling points). Or maybe I just think refractories are neat.
Gallium. Melts at/near room temperature. Liquid metals are cool.
Tin. Its near room temperature phase transition is really neat. Love to see it in person some day.
High entropy alloys. Also very neat.
But I'm going to cut this list off here before I start talking about reasons to love every possible metal/alloy.
(...do metallic glasses count as alloys? 😁)

I think you are one of the coolest blogs on tumblr
Thank you! I'm glad people are still enjoying the blog! (Materials science is cool, isn't it! 😁)
2025 Monthly Topic Poll
As mentioned previously, 2024 is rapidly coming to an end - and that means the end of the 2024 daily posts! Next year, every three months (March, June, Sept, and Dec) I’ll be posting about an MSE topic at least every other day - and it's time to vote on topics! Top four topics will win, unless it's ambiguous, in which case I'll run another poll (or if there's no interest in any of them!)
What do you want to learn about in 2025?
Acoustics and sound
Atoms
Careers*
Color
Computational materials science
Data
Elemental groupings
Energy sources
Integrated circuit (IC) failure analysis
Materials maturity levels
Property prefixes and suffixes
Transmission electron microscopy
More explanation for each topic is under the cut:
Anyone interested in trying out a tumblr community for materials science and engineering?
