The above was written for the interested layperson who wants to learn more about science. It provides some context for our manuscript that has recently appeared in Nature.
Research Highlight: Graphene Oxide Paper
From Northwestern Engineering:
In a paper published July 26 in the journal Nature, researchers led by Rod Ruoff, John Evans Professor of Nanoengineering in the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, report on the development of "graphene oxide paper."
CALLING ALL STUDENTS! (and everyone else)
Recently, Prof. Suo and several of us students have been discussing the possibility of increasing student presence and activity on iMechanica . With this in mind, two of us: Mahdi Kazemzadeh and I, have identified three important issues we would like to get your thoughts on. Please comment and let us know what you think, even if you are not a student. Also, if you wish to add any more issues you think we should look at, please post your thoughts in this regard as well.
Faculty Openings Carnegie Mellon University
The mechanical engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University is now advertising faculty positions. Ranked by US News & World Report as a top 10 graduate engineering program and a Top 25 undergraduate university, Carnegie Mellon might be a good fit for someone that you know.
iMechanica now has over 3000 registered users
The number of registered users of iMechanica exceeded 3000 today, three months after iMechanica welcomed its 2000th user. The number of posts has exceeded 1700, and the number of comments, 3800. The growth of iMechanica has been stable and amazing, leading to a natural question: why do people register at iMechanica? iMechanica is open: evevryone can read everything without registration. You can post anything of interest to mechanicians once you register for a free account.
