The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Materials Science Skills in 2025/26

Materials science is one of the most exciting multidisciplinary fields today, sitting at the crossroads of physics, chemistry, engineering, and data science. It underpins advances across sectors — from developing new semiconductors for electronics, to creating sustainable polymers, to innovating alloys for aerospace and defence. In the UK, demand for materials scientists is growing rapidly. Employers are looking for candidates who not only understand theoretical principles, but can also demonstrate practical skills in modelling, simulation, data analysis, and design. The challenge? Commercial materials software packages can cost thousands of pounds. Fortunately, a wide range of free and open-source tools make it possible to practise materials science without financial barriers. These platforms allow you to explore everything from atomic-scale quantum simulations to computer-aided design, visualisation, and machine learning for materials discovery. This guide highlights the best free tools and platforms to practise materials science skills in 2025. Each section explains what the tool does, why it’s useful, and how you can leverage it to build portfolio-ready projects and prepare for a career in the sector.

Top 10 Skills in Materials Science According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Materials science and engineering are foundational to innovation across industries—from aerospace and automotive to healthcare, energy, and electronics.

But what specific skills are in demand today? By analysing job postings on LinkedIn and Indeed, this article presents the Top 10 materials science skills sought by UK employers in 2025. Alongside definitions, you’ll find guidance on showcasing these skills in your CV, acing interviews, and building a compelling portfolio.

The Future of Materials Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Materials science is one of the most fascinating and impactful disciplines of the modern era. It bridges chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering, and underpins the technologies that drive human progress. Every major technological leap—from the silicon chips that power computers to the composite materials that make aircraft lighter and more efficient—has depended on breakthroughs in materials science. In the UK, materials science is central to strategic priorities: clean energy, aerospace, defence, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. The discipline is tightly linked to national innovation strategies, including net-zero targets, life sciences leadership, and cutting-edge digital industries. Universities, research centres, and companies are investing heavily in fields such as nanotechnology, biomaterials, and advanced composites. But the landscape is changing rapidly. Advances in AI-driven discovery, biotechnology, nanofabrication, and quantum technologies are reshaping what materials can do—and how we design and produce them. Many of the most critical materials science jobs of the future don’t exist yet. This article explores why entirely new roles will emerge, what they might look like, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned to lead, and how professionals can prepare.
