Fluid or Solid? The Physics of Shape-Shifting Materials
Dr. Chiara Daraio
Caltech
What if a material could be both solid and flow like sand? Polycatenated Architected Materials (PAMs) are new structures that defy conventional theories and enable applications ranging from safer sports gear to reconfigurable robotics. Join us to hear Dr. Daraio describe how we are redefining what’s possible in material science and engineering.
