PORTAL_Materials_science

The Materials science spine of the Matter & Energy Cluster, keyed to the flagship [[Materials_science]]: one section per row below, each with its Main article and its three.js microsim from the shared `/matter/` set. The cluster builds four flagships at once — [[Chemistry]], [[Energy]], [[Physics]] are the other three — so the concepts they share (the atom, the phase diagram, entropy, the p–n junction, the nucleus) are built once by their owner and placed here. Sims are listed in their pending form until the set deploys; the contract is `_registry/plans/MATTER_ENERGY_CLUSTER_SECTIONS.md` and this portal's map is `_registry/plans/MATERIALS_SCIENCE_SECTIONS.md`. ## Spine  *Microsims from the articles this section links:* <div class="wt-simrow"> <div class="wt-sim"

until MTN's read of the contract (wt-portal step 1) and the first deploy of `/matter/`. - `mnemonic_hub` defaults to Life_Physics — MTN's to change. - The generated `SIMGALLERY` and `CRAFT-LINK` blocks are added by g13 and g12 once the set is live; nothing below this line is hand-edited after that. --- *Repopulated 2026-09-19 · append-only · source:
