Mechanics of Materials
Think of it as mathematics with a bite: Researchers led by Franck Vernerey have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts, one of the most ingenious networks in nature.
ϳԹ engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
The National Science Foundation is honoring six current or incoming ϳԹ mechanical engineering students with Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and five students with honorable mentions.
Congratulations to ϳԹ mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Rong Long for earning a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award!The initiative recognizes early-career faculty
ϳԹ researchers have developed a new type of malleable, self-healing and fully recyclable “electronic skin” that has applications ranging from robotics and prosthetic development to better biomedical devices.Electronic skin, known as e-skin,
