Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Sailing the Seas Again

Previously featured in one of our newsletters, the USS Constitution, nicknamed Old Ironsides for its extremely strong and cannonball-repelent surface, was a war ship during the War of 1812.

Over the weekend, the residents of Boston, MA commemorated the war's 200th anniversary. The highlight - the sailing of Old Ironsides, which reportedly is only the second time the ship has sailed (on its own) in more than 130 years.
