If you're relying on a metal, you want to know exactly how much physical strain it can undergo without cracking or breaking. But there are no robust ways to predict ductility. @AmesNatLab developed a new way to do so based on quantum mechanics: https://t.co/H6OpUHFveK

Steve Martin and his research students are working to invent better materials for batteries so that we all have more powerful, longer-lasting, safer and quicker-to-recharge batteries for our phones, vehicles and other applications.https://t.co/dxYhrmVlr0

“I was at a materials engineering demonstration and they brought in a huge sheet of glass, putting it between two chairs. They stood on it, and they bounced on it – and it wouldn’t break. Then... the entire thing shattered.”

We had a wonderful time at our pre-commencement ceremony for all our MSE graduates this weekend. Congrats Cyclone Engineers!

Research has been incredibly helpful to inform my decisions on my engineering future. The people I have been working with and the grad students in the lab have been amazing in their mentorship and knowledge of performing research and of graduate school.
