I don't think these are the "best" examples as they are probably not completely accurate, but there is probably a reason why the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Steel Ages exist as a concept.
Also I think it makes sense since materials science is more applied chemistry/physics/engineering, so naturally materials science is huge because it represents 3 fields of knowledge interacting.
- bllguo 7y agoim not sure "steel age" is a common term, but I agree with the idea. the (second) industrial revolution was spurred by availability of steel anyway, you can take it further. the information age we are in is arguably characterized by silicon
