Are you studying in or working with material? If yes, this will be a very good site for your to get yourself deep into the material world.
The site I would like to introduce is www.doitpoms.ac.uk, offered by University of Cambridge. In this site, you can find TLP library - "self-contained, interactive resources, each focusing on one area of Materials Science".
There are altogether 60+ topics covering different areas of material science. All are open-access and some of them have videos and simulations to illustrate the concepts behind. You will never feel boring or sleepy when studying with this package.
It seem to me they will keep updating the list. Anyway, I extracted the list here for your quick reference:
