Prof. Nancy Sottos (UIUC) is delivering an amazing lecture (PMI Seminar) on “Molecularly Architected Polymers Enabled by Frontal Polymerization” ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦University of Illinois⁩ ⁦

As part of The Princeton SMatCH Seminar series, Dr Tuo Zhao is delivering a fascinating lecture on “Modular Chiral Origami Metamaterials” associated to his upcoming paper in Nature ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦Princeton Engineering⁩ ⁦nature⁩

In an experiment reminiscent of the Transformers movies, Princeton University engineers created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow electromagnetic commands like a remotely controlled robot even though it lacks internal gears: engineering.princeton.edu/news/2025/04/2…

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely perfect and often creates structural weaknesses elsewhere.
