    Materials can be classified based on their state, structure, and band structure. There are four main classes of materials in electrical engineering: conductors, which allow electric current to flow; insulators, which resist electric current; semiconductors, which have properties between conductors and insulators; and superconductors, which have zero resistance at very low temperatures. Materials science aims to understand how a material's processing, structure, properties, and performance are related. Emerging areas of research include nanomaterials, biomaterials, and computational materials science.
