Is it time to take another look at the osmotic heat pipe? Rick @thefontknows thinks so. Check out his review paper co-authored with our @AFResearchLab collaborators: doi.org/10.1016/j.appl…

Congrats Marquise @quisebell on leading this work on thermally self-decontaminating #wearable #materials, published today in @ACS_AMI! doi.org/10.1021/acsami…

Our lab's new paper led by @Zhen_Skyii is out now in @NanoLetters! We keep surfaces clean by storing them in hierarchically micro-nanotextured ultraclean containers, which act as a getter for contaminants. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Computers can be made of many things: vacuum tubes, silicon, women whose contributions to astro and space exploration were forgotten and then remembered. Here's a new one: @ProfDanPreston and his team made one out of CLOTH with ZERO ELECTRONICS. wired.com/story/fabric-n…

Check out our work in @PNASNews on logic-enabled textiles: electronics-free garments with memory, decision-making, and comfortable human interaction! @ranoop93 @RiceEngineering #wearable #robotics pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our #necrobotics paper is out today in open-access @AdvSciNews Advanced Science! We repurposed biotic material (in this case, a deceased spider) as a #robotic gripper. #materials #engineering onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
