Inaugurated in 2007, the annual <a href="http://www.newsdesk.umd.edu/undergradexp/release.cfm?ArticleID=1395">Sci/Terp Video Competition</a> is for undergraduates to make a 4-minute video that explains their science, engineering, or technology research to middle/high school aged students, shows what they're doing, and why it's exciting, interesting or just pretty cool. The judges include professionals, a class of 9th grade students and their teacher. This video finally won the 2nd place prize in the competition. The winning videos have been shown to public during <a href="http://www.marylandday.umd.edu/">2007 Maryland Day </a> .

Two UMD undergratuates, <a href="user/1876">Edward Dechaumphai</a> and Jonathan Chung, worked with me on this project. Worth to mention is that both are college freshmen, but stood out from many of their senior competitors. Congrats, Ed and Jon!

<strong><span>Symposium: Mechanics of micro/nano structures on soft substrates: applications for flexible and stretchable electronics</span></strong>
</p>
<p>
<span>Enormous interests are gathering in recent years towards the nascent technology area of <strong>flexible and stretchable electronics</strong>. The vast applications, e.g., rollable large-area displays, eye-like digital cameras, and sensitive textiles, will impact everyone's daily life. Future success of this promising technology largely relies on the reduced cost and enhanced portability of the flexible and stretchable electronic devices, attributes that will come from new choice of materials and of manufacturing processes. For example, electronic materials (metals, dielectrics and semiconductors) can be patterned into <em>micro/nano structures on soft substrates</em>, through a roll-to-roll fabrication, resulting in lightweight, rugged, flexible and stretchable devices. These devices will have diverse architectures, hybrid materials, and small features. Moreover, such devices will be subject to large, repeated deformation during manufacturing and service. The mechanical behaviors of such micro/nano structures of stiff materials on soft substrates pose significant challenges to the functionality and reliability of flexible and stretchable electronic devices. To address these increasing concerns, this symposium aims to bring together an international and interdisciplinary forum on emerging topics in the mechanics of micro/nano structures on soft substrates applied for flexible and stretchable electronics. Presentation topics include state-of-the-art modeling, computational and experimental techniques with emphasis on elasticity, viscosity, plasticity, strength, ductility, fracture, fatigue, surfaces, interface, contact, adhesion, and patterning.</span>
