We are at @Materials_MRS #F23MRS with oral presentations, posters, and science as art entries.
@fio99re @guidetti_giu @MarcoLoPresti16 @Taehoon44568346 @JeffRoshko @eli_ruggeri Nick and Xuelian.
@guidetti_giu showed how plants and ancient Roman glass fragments a display unexpected optical behaviors.
@Taehoon44568346 presented reconfigurable photonic crystals fabricated through the fine control of silk assembly at the nanoscale.
@JeffRoshko is showing how to turn kilometers of natural fibers into kilometers of protein film. All while securing a nomination for best poster award!
@eli_ruggeri started it off showing the latest advancements in wearable technologies for lactate monitoring
Explore how dazzling colors on an ancient Roman glass fragment arise from a stunning blend of natural assembly processes and cutting-edge optical technology.
