材料科学的研究决定了我们的世界——金属，半导体，塑料都用在了我们的设备，产品和技术上。

Materials science studies what makes up our world -- the metals, semiconductors, plastics we use to make all our devices, products, and technologies.

另外一个RETE系统的优势是，因为在太阳能聚光器中使用，实际设备需要的半导体材料非常小。

Another advantage of the PETE system is that by using it in solar concentrators, the amount of semiconductor material needed for a device is quite small.

其实归根结底，你还是需要去美国应用材料公司（Applied Materials）购置一套芯片加工设备，应用材料公司是半导体工业设备的主要供应商之一。

To do all this, you are probably going to need chip-manufacturing machines from Applied Materials, one of the main suppliers of such equipment to the semiconductor industry.
