Super excited to share our latest work in Advanced Functional Materials @AdvSciNews on 3D printing tough and degradable ionic junctions with microgels. Grateful for the contributions from all coauthors and the continuous support from @jianyuvli @mcgillu onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Happy to share our new work on "penetration enhancers modulated tough hydrogel bioadhesion and locoregional drug delivery" published in @BioMaterSci! Congratulations to our excellent students and collaborators @BCCancer @ubcpathology @RIMUHC1! doi.org/10.1039/D4BM00…

Advanced Science cover from our studio for Prof. Akbarzadeh and @Shahin_Esk: Unravelling Size-Dependent and Coupled Properties in Mechanical Metamaterials: A Couple-Stress Theory Perspective onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… @AdvSciNews @McGill_Eng @McgillMiam #sciart

Fibrin clot is a representative fibrous gel, underpinning the mechanics of blood clots, with significant use in biomedical applications. Our newest paper reveals how its fracture occurs under cyclic loading and different loading rates. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Join us this week for "Advancing Bioadhesive Technologies with Mechanical Principles" by @jianyuvli, Assoc. Prof. and Canada Research Chair at @mcgillu. Uncover the limitations of surgical glues and explore innovative solutions. Abstract: bit.ly/3R0udhM

I’m deeply honored to be elected a foreign member of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Academy announced the election today, a day before Thanksgiving. Thank you all—family, friends, coworkers. 30 foreign members elected this year⤵️

It's this week in the 2023 #MRM_Talks: Nicole Li-Jessen from @mcgillu School of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She will be joined by Patrick Coburn, PhD candidate in her lab. Register here: mrm.research.mcgill.ca/event/2023-mrm……

We will host our great collaborator, Prof. Rong Long @RongLong8, at McGill. He will give a department seminar at 3 pm next Wednesday (November 22) and attend our jointly supervised student's @ZhenYan57544631 PhD defense. Looking forward to the next week!

Come join us in our Annual Celebration of #Innovation and #Entrepreneurship and Engine's 10-year Anniversary!! 🎉🎊 RSVP here: mcgill.ca/x/U6z

Congratulations! Hard work paid off! I lost count already on how many late-night discussions we’ve had throughout the project. I learned a great deal of topological adhesion from you.

Excited to share our new paper published in PNAS. By engineering the topology of hydrogel surface network, we can precisely modulate hydrogel adhesion in magnitude, kinetics, and spatial distribution without changing bulk mechanics and chemistry. pnas.org/eprint/IBIUSWY…

1. Happy to share that our latest work has been published in PNAS! In this study, we delved into the effects of surface network topology on hydrogel adhesion. pnas.org/eprint/IBIUSWY… (1/n)

We are looking for motivated graduate students, who are interested in (1) Mechanics of soft materials and biological materials, (2) Engineered living materials for medicine and robotics. Contact me ASAP if you target Jan. 2024 admission (due July 2023). Thanks.

This cover illustrates how ionic junctions regulate ion flow like sand in an hourglass ⏳, allowing unidirectional current conduction. The ionic junctions are essential elements in soft and stretchable circuits @jianyuvli @mcgillu Find out more: ow.ly/cyEY50OnXVx

Beyond excited that our work is highlighted as cover by AFM. Huge thanks to @Sci_Fig, @jianyuvli, @mcgillu, @AdvSciNews!

Please check out our upcoming Lab Tour and Networking event held by @CanBiomatSoc Montreal Student Chapter on May 18th at Biomaterial and BioFabrication lab at @CRCHUM! Please register at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…. Snack and drink will be served. See you there!

Congrats to Profs. Marco Amabili, Changhong Cao, Jianyu Li (Mechanical Engineering), Codruta Ignea (@BioengMcGill), and Daniele Malomo (@McGill_CIVE) on receiving the NFRF 2022 Exploration fund! reporter.mcgill.ca/3-2-million-fo… @jianyuvli @codrutaignea @d_malomo

Congratulations to @McGill_Eng profs Jianyu Li (Mechanical Engineering) and Noemie Dorval Courchesne (Chemical Engineering) on receiving the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) 2022 Explorations Fund. @jianyuvli @ndorvalc bit.ly/3Lj7LOj

We're very excited to host Prof. John Rogers from Northwestern for a Virtual Seminar this Friday at 12pm. He will talk to us about his work on soft electronic and microfluidic systems for skin. Hope to see you there! mcgill.ca/miam/channels/…
