The Materials Innovation and Learning Laboratory (The MILL) at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), is a student-led, open-access “make-and-measure” space for creating materials, characterizing their structure, and measuring their properties. The MILL not only empowers students to create but to analyze and evaluate their creations, and this emphasis on analytical assessment in a […]
Using ultrabright x-rays to test materials for hypersonic flight
A research team at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to test thin yet durable materials for hypersonic flight using an upgraded source of ultrabright x-rays.
Scientists develop inexpensive, high-quality lenses for super-resolution microscopy
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, U.K., have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less than $1 to produce. The new fabrication approach could broaden access to fully customizable optical parts and enable completely new types of imaging tools.

Novel metamaterial can potentially revolutionize implantable and ingestible devices
Rice University researchers create a novel “metamaterial” that can potentially revolutionize implantable and ingestible devices. The team, led by Yong Lin Kong, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the George R. Brown School of Engineering and Computing, have developed a soft but strong metamaterial that can be controlled remotely to rapidly transform […]
