Synthetic materials mimic seashells to enhance energy absorption

Millions of years of evolution have enabled some marine animals to grow complex protective shells composed of multiple layers that work together to dissipate physical stress. In a new study, engineers have found a way to mimic the behavior of this type of layered material, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to enhance energy-absorbing systems such as wearable bandages and car bumpers with multistage responses that adapt to collision severity. Many past studies have focused on reverse engineering to replicate the behavior of natural materials like bone, feathers and wood to reproduce their nonlinear responses to mechanical stress. A new study, led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign civil and environmental engineering professor Shelly Zhang and professor Ole Sigmund of the Technical University of Denmark, looked beyond reverse engineering to develop a framework for programmable multilayered materials capable of responding to local disturbances through microscale interconnections.

Fucking sobbing bc the University of Illinois has a beetle professor, and he's the professor of entomology T^T

Look at him, look at Dr Hanks

COME TO UI-CON NOW

this is gonna have literally no reach because i am but a mere 2 follower tumblr account bUT if you like art and shit and you're generally in the midwest usa and mayhaps even in illinois-

go to ui-con march 1st and march 2nd in urbana IL, use this link to preregister (also found on our website) for only $2.50 (closes tomorrow 2/22 11:59 CST) cuz it's $5.00 at the door

Joan Baez "Oh, Had I A Golden Thread" University of Illinois, November 29, 1962.

Oh boy did I just stumble on a treasure. Someone found a tape recording of a Joan Baez concert at the University of Illinois from 1962. There's two parts and you can find them here.

Nanocatalysts enable conversion of waste-derived biocrude into sustainable jet fuel precursors

Wet wastes, including food waste and biomass, are promising candidates for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production due to their triglyceride content, which can be converted into biocrude via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). SAF precursors must meet criteria derived from conventional fuels (e.g., Jet A), including complete oxygen removal to prevent jet engine corrosion and a higher heating value (HHV) close to Jet A. Currently, no HTL-derived biocrude meets these. A new study, with contributions from researchers at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), has explored using zeolite-supported molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) nanocatalysts to upgrade wet waste-derived biocrudes into SAF precursors that meet all essential criteria for the first time.

“An architect’s job is a very interesting job in the fact we are not doing architecture unless we solve specific functions. When they come together, then we have what I call Architecture with a capital ‘A’.” - Max Abramovitz

Despite the past accusations, I have never claimed that Islam is Hitler.

But University of Illinois wishes to say that Islam stands against the same things Hitler did, and it is a good thing.

Which is the best university to provide an internship for MAC nutrition and dietetics?

The choice of the best university for an internship in nutrition and dietetics for a MAC will depend on a number of factors, including focus, location preference, and program reputation. While a few prominent ones in a strong nutrition and dietetics program are:

Harvard University

Renowned for its research and academic excellence.

Harvard offers various opportunities for internships and research in nutrition and dietetics.

University of California, Berkeley

Known for its interdisciplinary approach and innovative research.

UC Berkeley provides excellent internship opportunities in nutrition and dietetics.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

With a strong focus on public health and nutrition, UNC Chapel Hill offers diverse internship experiences in the field.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This university is known for its comprehensive nutrition and dietetics program.

Opportunities for internships in various settings.

University of Michigan

Another top-tier university offering robust internship opportunities in nutrition and dietetics.

Focus on public health and community nutrition.

Columbia University

Location in New York City and emphasis on research.

Columbia offers unique internship opportunities in nutrition and dietetics.

However, be sure to do your due diligence and research each program to assure that it fits your career goals and interests. Other aspects that you should consider are the faculty, the available resources, and the alumni network. I hope this is helpful! Feel free to reach out if you need any more help.

Hey, this sounds like the shit my uncles were up to at UIUC in ‘68 for Project 500. They lost their scholarships for that. They’d be glad the students there have the same spirit 50+ years later (but they’d be mad that it’s still necessary) (The one in the back pointing and the one with glasses outside the truck are my uncles)
