# Materials science
## MicroSim spec
- **Recommended sim type:** phase diagram
- **Microsimmability score:** 44/100
- **Layout:** drawing region (canvas) on top; control region (sliders/buttons) below.
### Parameters (tunable controls)
- `Composition - 0 to 100 %`
- `Temperature - 300 to 1800 K`
- `Cooling / processing rate`
### What animates
A phase diagram and a schematic microstructure update together as composition and temperature change, linking a processing path to the structure it yields.
### Learning objective
Connect material structure to composition, temperature, and processing path.

## Concept summary
Materials science relates the [[Structure|structure]] of materials to their properties and to the processing that produces them.
## Build checklist
- [ ] Claim it: set `status: in-progress` + `lease` + `leased_at`
- [ ] Write the child page explaining the concept (tie it back to process engineering)
- [ ] Finalize parameter ranges and defaults
- [ ] Implement the p5.js sketch (drawing + control regions)
- [ ] Add caption + the learning objective on the page
- [ ] Set `status: done`
## p5.js sketch
```javascript
// MicroSim: Materials science
let controls = {};
function setup() {
// createCanvas(...); create sliders for the parameters above.
}
function draw() {
// background(...); read controls; render phase diagram; respond live.
}
```

## Microsims
*This section is specific to Wikitube.* [[Materials_science]] is one of the four flagships of the Matter & Energy Cluster (`_registry/plans/MATTER_ENERGY_CLUSTER_SECTIONS.md`): the sections below follow the Wikipedia pair's skeleton in the pair's order and each carries one three.js microsim from the shared `/matter/` set — built once by its owner flagship, placed wherever the concept recurs. Every sim is pending until the set deploys; the live cards replace these rows through the set generator, never by hand.
