Happy to share our last paper 👉 https://t.co/cmwPEm8x1m where we show how beads can turn flexible fiber networks into load-bearing structures. Fun to build, tricky to crack—these metamaterials keep you on your toes! (literally) @LaurenDreier @Trev_J_Jones

Shoutout to the folks at Polytechnique (Montréal & Palaiseau) for their work just out in @Nature on how kirigami principles✂️ can be applied to make parachutes 🪂

In a scene toward the end of the 2006 film, “X-Men: The Last Stand,” a character claps and sends a shock wave that knocks out an opposing army.

Sunny Jung, professor of biological and environmental engineering in @CornellCALS, was intrigued.

“It made me curious about how the wave propagates when we clap our hands,” Jung said.

Jung is senior author of a study, published March 11 in Physical Review Research, that elucidates the complex physical mechanisms and fluid dynamics involved in a handclap, with potential applications in bioacoustics and personal identification, whereby a handclap could be used to identify someone.

“Clapping hands is a daily, human activity and form of communication,” Jung said. “We use it in religious rituals, or to express appreciation: to resonate ourselves and excite ourselves. We wanted to explore how we generate the sound depending on how we clap our hands.”

The formula for the minimal length of a piece of paper so that you can fold it "n" times was derived by 16 year old Britney Gallivan in 2002.

In an experiment reminiscent of the Transformers movies, @Princeton 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: https://t.co/IxDihhRHWH

Ever had paint drops rain on your head from a ceiling? These stalactite-like hardened polymer structures were created in a similar way. These "flexicles" might someday serve as a force sensor in soft-robotics applications. Read about it in Physics journal https://t.co/ylq54A6fSe
