Simulate the 3D food printing process through a simple activity, and compare your results to a real 3D food printer!
From airplanes and spaceships to balloons and frisbees, flight is an important part of today’s society. This activity builds and experiments with bottle rockets, the perfect model for investigating what aerospace engineering is all about. After reviewing how to build the bottle rocket, this video details a setup you can use to test what forces, materials, and designs maximize airtime. So at the end of the day, here’s the question: how high can you fly?
Learn about the research Dr. Zhong’s Integrated Materials and Processes Design (IMPD) group is working on to design the next generation of materials. Specifically, learn how the group uses computational modeling techniques such as machine learning to simulate a material’s behavior. With these simulations, the group can study the properties and performance of new materials for applications in alloys, ceramics, and nanomaterials without actually making them.
It is well known that all things are made up of atoms, but have you ever wondered how these tiny, unseen units of matter come together to make the materials we see all around us? Are you interested in new technologies that can be used to revolutionize energy demands and climate change? Have you ever asked yourself how we design new materials and know where they can be useful? Learn about the basic arrangements of atoms, an energy generator unlike any other, how machine learning is being used to design new materials such as high entropy alloys, and more in this presentation.
Believe it or not, you have some of the same technology in your phone as the Perseverance rover on Mars! The electronics devices you use every day like your cell phone include a lot of high-tech materials made by DuPont Electronics. This sounds very complicated, but some materials are actually based on a chemical process called Copper Electrodeposition, which you’ll learn from high school Chemistry Lab.
Have you ever wondered what your favorite products are made of? Learn about the types of materials all around you and why they are used in everything from sneakers to cellphones to airplanes!
