Los Angeles, CA - November 16, 2007 --Material Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MTTG -News)an engineering company that engages in the research and development of technologies to monitor and measure metal fatigue, today announced that the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) has selected Material Technologies to inspect a bridge with known fatigue cracks that is later scheduled for repair.

The New York State DOT has provided Material Technologies with technical information on the bridge of interest such that a cost estimate can be provided. The effort will include a re-inspection after repairs are completed, to verify that the repairs were effective in halting any further fatigue crack growth. The bridge is in the vicinity of Albany.

"This inspection illustrates just one of the many uses of the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. New York will be using the EFS system to inspect the bridge prior to performing repairs and to then verify those repairs once complete," CEO Robert Bernstein indicated. "With this approach, New York will immediately know if the repair solved the problem. In the past they would have needed to wait and see if the problem rematerialized later."
