Physics with a Bang! is returning to @UChicago on Saturday, Dec 13th! Try hands-on demos, tour labs, and attend an explosive science show performed by Profs. Heinrich Jaeger & Sid Nagel. This event is free and open to the public: youtube.com/watch?v=HXCQcl…

This is always a fun event that I look forward to every year. Definitely worth applying to and I hope to see you there! @NSF #MRSEC #DMR #NSFfunded

@UChicagoPME @nyutandon Congrats to Elise Chen and the rest of the team on some elegant studies on responsive LCE particles and exploring their behavior in dense suspensions. Great collaboration with @JuandePablo6

New research from UChicago PME + @NYUTandon: shape-shifting particles that change stiffness with temperature—unlocking new control over how dense suspensions like cement or paint flow. Published in PNAS. 🔗 pme.uchicago.edu/news/shape-shi… #MaterialsScience #UChicagoPME #SmartMaterials

Devastated by this news. He was one of a kind. When I moved to the US to postdoc in his group he put me up in his house for a month while a looked for a place to stay. Just one small example of his generosity. RIP Sir Fraser, thanks for everything. You will be missed, a lot!

Great work by Hongyi Zhang and team on this one!
