Watching the Olympics and surprised to see that the most elite track athletes wearing highly engineered uniforms still must use safety pins to attach their number bibs. Seems like the adhesion community could develop a more elegant solution The Adhesion Society

We kicked off our Spring Seminar Series this week with Thao "Vicky" Nguyen of Johns Hopkins University and her talk on "Modeling the Unique Behaviors of Liquid Crystal Elastomers," highlighting the potential of liquid crystal elastomers in soft robotics and advanced materials engineering.

Mechanical metamaterials are often designed with repeating cell geometries to achieve stiffness and high strength for their weight. A study finds disorderly cells—as seen in natural materials like bone—are tougher than neatly ordered cells. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/I52S50V0gYX

Stronger materials, inspired by nature? Led by Kevin T Turner, researchers from @meam_penn, Penn Physics & Astro and Aarhus Universitet found that adding just the right amount of disorder to a material’s structure boosts toughness by 2.6x. bit.ly/3QnwHXJ

Most people today take for granted or just don’t understand the amount of science, technology, innovation, precision, and efficiency that goes into growing and producing this plant. Sometimes it’s a good thing to stop and remember that. Purdue Agriculture Purdue Agronomy
