1. Introduction

Curvature-Regulated Multiphase Patterns in Tori

Submitted by Fan Xu on

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.

What is a sustainable hamlet ?

Submitted by nolan1 on

A sustainable hamlet is a group of houses whose specifications meet today's environmental challenges in terms of water, energy and waste management. These houses are in harmony with the surrounding landscape (or environment). They can be partially self-built and include a common space. This space is open, creating a new social space.

Two PhD openings in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials Design at Baylor University

Submitted by nzhang on

Two fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Fall, 2023 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the Baylor University. The research work will focus on the mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.

The research topics include:

(1)   Polymer composites;

(2)   Medium/High entropy alloys;

(3)   High entropy ceramics;

(4)   Biomaterials;

(5)   Machine learning.
