Metamaterials are products of engineering wizardry. They are made from everyday polymers, ceramics, and metals. And when constructed precisely at the microscale, in intricate architectures, these ordinary materials can take on extraordinary properties.

With the help of computer simulations, engineers can play with any combination of microstructures to see how certain materials can transform, for instance, into sound-focusing acoustic lenses or lightweight, bulletproof films.

But simulations can only take a design so far. To know for sure whether a metamaterial will stand up to expectation, physically testing them is a must. But there’s been no reliable way to push and pull on metamaterials at the microscale, and to know how they will respond, without contacting and physically damaging the structures in the process.

Now, a new laser-based technique offers a safe and fast solution that could speed up the discovery of promising metamaterials for real-world applications.

The technique, developed by MIT engineers, probes metamaterials with a system of two lasers — one to quickly zap a structure and the other to measure the ways in which it vibrates in response, much like striking a bell with a mallet and recording its reverb. In contrast to a mallet, the lasers make no physical contact. Yet they can produce vibrations throughout a metamaterial’s tiny beams and struts, as if the structure were being physically struck, stretched, or sheared.

The engineers can then use the resulting vibrations to calculate various dynamic properties of the material, such as how it would respond to impacts and how it would absorb or scatter sound. With an ultrafast laser pulse, they can excite and measure hundreds of miniature structures within minutes. The new technique offers a safe, reliable, and high-throughput way to dynamically characterize microscale metamaterials, for the first time.

“We need to find quicker ways of testing, optimizing, and tweaking these materials,” says Carlos Portela, the Brit and Alex d’Arbeloff Career Development Professor in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. “With this approach, we can accelerate the discovery of optimal materials, depending on the properties you want.”

Portela and his colleagues detail their new system, which they’ve named LIRAS (for laser-induced resonant acoustic spectroscopy) in a paper appearing today in Nature. His MIT co-authors include first author Yun Kai, Somayajulu Dhulipala, Rachel Sun, Jet Lem, and Thomas Pezeril, along with Washington DeLima at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Kansas City National Security Campus.

Creatures of Far'Kour - Mindreaders - Watcher

The Watcher. The much less lethal variety of Mindreader, it hunts by feeding its target their worst fears. The modern types that wander the plains of Far'Kour were trained by the Predecessors to be more docile, but they are quick to decide who is or isn't a threat. "Be careful in the woods. The dark is the mind reader's domain. All your fear, all your insecurities, it will use to hunt you down." - Business Liaison Lefantis Sr. "Mindreaders? Oh, those things. Listen, don't fight it none and don't think bad thoughts when it's looking at ya, it'll leave you alone. Hell, you feed it some meat and it'll even help you when you get lost!" - Irdavez Mirtoka, Head Biologist of the Far'kour Research Institute

Researching anything niche in a highly marketable industry (like automotive) is so annoying. Every company just says "our product is the best because it works and it's a secret!" and it's like. Please, I promise No One cares about WHAT "proprietary material" you are using for your antimicrobial car touch screens. No one EXCEPT my professor for some reason, who is grading this research, so could you please be a dear and not just list essentially "it works because science and we say so" on your Technical Data Sheet??

How Polymers Are Revolutionizing the Medical Field: Breakthroughs and Benefits

Polymers are revolutionizing the medical field by providing materials that are both versatile and biocompatible. Their unique properties make them ideal for a wide range of medical applications, from surgical instruments to drug delivery systems. The polymer industry in India is playing a pivotal role in advancing these technologies.

One of the most significant breakthroughs in medical polymers is the development of biodegradable polymers for drug delivery. These polymers can be designed to release medication at a controlled rate, improving the efficacy and safety of treatments. Additionally, they reduce the need for multiple doses, enhancing patient compliance.

Polymers are also used in the creation of prosthetics and implants. Their flexibility and strength allow for the design of devices that closely mimic the natural properties of human tissues. This results in improved patient outcomes and a higher quality of life for those requiring medical implants.

In wound care, polymers are used to create advanced dressings that promote healing and prevent infections. These dressings can be impregnated with antimicrobial agents, providing an added layer of protection for patients.

Overall, the impact of polymers in the medical field is profound. As research and development continue, we can expect even more innovative applications that will further improve patient care and treatment outcomes.

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing, is a transformative approach to industrial production that is making lighter, stronger parts and systems a possibility.

This article will delve in the concept of additive manufacturing, its types, and the materials used in additive manufacturing.

What is the additive manufacturing?

Additive manufacturing is processes used to create a three-dimensional object by laying down successive layers of material under the control of a computer. Objects created can be of almost any shape or geometry and are created from digital model data. It is intended to construct a part from scratch but raw material, using digital data coming from a CAD file.

The familiar term of additive manufacturing is 3D printing. This is a popular type of additive manufacturing.

Scientists develop a polymer film inspired by spider silk to connect biological tissues with electronic devices

A team of materials scientists affiliated with several institutions in Singapore and China has developed a spider-silk-inspired polymer film that may be used to connect biological tissues with an electronic device. Their results are reported in the journal Nature. The editors at Nature have published a Research Briefing outlining the work in the same issue. Scientists have been working to develop a material to connect biological tissue with an electronic device for quite some time—such a material would allow for medical implants that would not be rejected, for example, or connections of prosthetic limbs or devices to control organs, such as heart pacemakers. Most such efforts have fallen short, however, due to problems with stiffness and immune response or the introduction of other safety issues.
