The development of stronger and tougher materials serving under extreme conditions is a long-term goal of materials research that has been made even more urgent recently by our quests for […]
"The Future of Brain Interfacing" Brain interfacing holds immense promise, both for restoring lost sensory, motor or cognitive function and for the treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The promise […]
Advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine require biomaterials that instruct, rather than simply permit, a desired cellular response. A major challenge to progress in our field […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week's presenter will be in-person as well. ABSTRACT My long-term research […]
Creating thick electrodes with low porosity can dramatically increase the available energy in a single cell and decrease the number of electrode stacks needed in a full battery, which results […]

Control over the microscopic world, at the scale of the smallest organisms, depends on the development of robots and machines that can operate at micro-nanoscales. However, fundamental limitations in the […]
Wearable robots and devices—garments with embedded elements that actuate to change shape or apply forces to the wearer, typically based on signals from integrated sensors—offer promise for assistive and augmentative […]
ABSTRACT: How can A.I.-based methods inform social listening applications during public health crises? The COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted the mode and method of human communication and interaction. The magnitude of […]
Abstract: Chemical synthesis is responsible for significant emissions of carbon dioxide worldwide. These emissions arise not only due to the energy requirements of chemical synthesis, but since hydrocarbon feedstocks can […]
