On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to announce the 12th iteration of the Computational Materials Science Summer School at Texas A&M University, CMS3. The school will take place in College Station, TX from July 23 – August 4, 2023 and will also be offered online. Application deadline is April 15, 2023.

Like Poisson’s effect, mechanical coupling is a directional indirect response by a directional input loading. With the advance in manufacturing techniques of 3D complex geometry, architected materials with unit cells of finite volume rather than a point yield more degrees of freedom and foster exotic mechanical couplings such as axial–shear, axial–rotation, axial–bending, and axial–twisting.

Dear Colleagues,

The International Conference on Advanced Surface Enhancement (INCASE) is coming back for the 3^rd installment, to be held physically from 26^th to 28^th September 2023, jointly organised by ARTC and SIMTech, research entities of A*STAR Singapore. This year we are honoured to have Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, Coventry University, CoatNet, and Metal Finishing News (MFN) onboard as our organising partners.

1. Introduction

Dear Colleagues,

Biological functions in living systems are closely related to their geometries and morphologies. Toroidal structures, which widely exist in nature, present interesting features containing positive, zero, and negative Gaussian curvatures within one system. Such varying curvatures would significantly affect the growing or dehydrating morphogenesis, as observed in various intricate patterns in abundant biological structures.
