Highlight of Nature this month is ... advertising! In case you were under the archaic illusion that new breakthrough would be considered for the cover...

Our new paper on touch suggests that tactile mechanics make it difficult to discern delicate details during slow scanning nature.com/articles/s4159…

Avocado toast on the cover of science! Surely Santa Barbara avocados?

A few hours in New Orleans already welcoming, friendly and offering glimpses of its many flavors...

Mon February 11 on #UnknownTerritoriesRadio KCSB-FM 91.9 we are speaking with special guests Barbara Imhof (Liquifer Systems Group) and Marko Pelham (MAT UC Santa Barbara). We will discuss many topics around living architecture, habitats for extreme environments and extra-intra space. Yon Visell

Yon Visell (Yon Visell) and Shantonu Biswas reviewed the emerging materials #technologies for the sense of #touch. Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… #Haptics #Tactile #materials UC Santa Barbara The Robert Mehrabian College of Engineering

Celebrating the power & innovation of #NSF is Yon Visell discussing his research on haptics & robotics UC Santa Barbara The Robert Mehrabian College of Engineering Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenKamalaHarris House Science Committee Rep. Salud Carbajal #UCinDC

Surely only a matter of time before research investment in mathematics at all institutions explodes? Limitless possibilities. (Except where the limit exists.)

On this week’s Science Magazine podcast: How countries may recover from coronavirus w Kai Kupferschmidt, lessons from an ancient drought w Elizabeth Wadeley, and wave propagation in our hands w @yonvisell sciencemag.org/podcast/how-co…

Excited to share our new paper in Science Advances! In it, we show how dynamic touch excites biomechanical waves in the skin that pre-neuronally transform - and compress - tactile information. advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/16/e…

In studying the biomechanics of the human hand, The Robert Mehrabian College of Engineering's Yon Visell and colleagues have found that far from being a simple sensing material, the skin can also aid the processing of tactile information, helping us sense the world around us. ow.ly/DPai50zhVy0

Our new Nature Materials paper with Hsiao (NCSU) and Santos (UCLA) labs describes friction of wet, textured elastomers felt with human and robot fingers.

Using fuel synthesis from atmo CO2 and sequestration of CO2 exhaust prods may be possible to realize net negative CO2 emissions internal combustion engines that are greener than EV or hybrid? Just heard about such options now. Feel free to learn me

This year, ieeehaptics is offering a new 🧙‍♀️Mentoring Forum🧙 as an opportunity for students and post-docs to connect with early-career and senior mentors and better connect with the #haptics community. Submit by Feb 21! 2022.hapticssymposium.org/presenting/men…

Presented by UC Santa Barbara’s Mengjia Zhu, Shantonu Biswas, Pro Service 76, Nikolas Kastor, Elliot Wright Hawkes, and Yon Visell, “Soft, Wearable #Robotics and #Haptics” reviews emerging advances in soft #robots, and discusses important #design considerations. #wearables
