In a discovery that could pave the way for new materials and applications, materials scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that oscillating loads at certain frequencies can lead to several-fold increases in the strength of composites with an interface that is modified by a molecular layer of “nanoglue.”
On Wednesday, Dec. 12, students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will present The Wave: An Immersive Sensory Exchange, an immersive installation that synthesizes the human experience of Lake George with real sensor data collected from the lake by Rensselaer researchers.
[The Jefferson Project at Lake George is conducting ongoing research into how human activities may be affecting the lake. This guest blog by Kayla Coldsnow, a graduate student in the lab of Jefferson Project Director Rick Relyea, summarizes recent research published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The Jefferson Project is a collaboration between Rensselaer, IBM […]
