Glasses have numerous applications due to their exceptional transparency, however, poor fracture and impact resistance limit their applications as an engineering material. One relatively recent approach to improve the mechanical properties of materials is through bio-inspiration. Structural biological composites such as nacre, the protective inner layer of mollusk shells, offer far superior mechanical properties relative […]
MBARI, Moss Landing (California)
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is a private, non-profit oceanographic research center in Moss Landing, California. At MBARI, scientists and engineers work together to develop new tools and methods for studying the ocean. MBARI’s 2020 Summer internship is open to undergraduate and graduate students and educators. The program is […]
