CU Multi-functional Materials

News from the interdisciplinary research theme on multi-functional materials at CU Boulder.

[CU Multi-functional Materials @IRT_MFM]

A new review paper lays out how @CUBoulder engineers are taking inspiration from the biological world—and designing new kinds of materials that are potentially tougher, more versatile and more sustainable than what humans can make on their own.

.@CUBoulder is now home to a High-Sensitivity Low-Energy Ion Scattering (HS-LEIS) Spectrometer! 🤝

Being one of two devices in the US, it is able to achieve true atomic layer surface sensitivity – expanding research efforts on campus for years to come.

This is a 5-min. read on why researchers @CUEngineering are studying fish fins and movement! The goal is to design and build flexible robots or new shape-changing materials.

Really interesting stuff from @ConversationUS!
