As our knowledge of matter grows, so too do the number of materials. Metals saw <br />
early uses as swords, coins, and later, in the building of airplanes. The 20th <br />
century witnessed several new materials: plastic that is versatile enough to <br />
find use in everything from containers to automobiles, fibers that are strong <br />
enough to make bullet-proof vests, and early houses made of wood or stone that <br />
gave way to the towering skyscrapers we see today.<br />
