Creating programmable materials from silk
Biomedical engineers have developed a new bioinspired technique that transforms silk protein into complex materials that are easily programmable at the nano-, micro-, and macro-scales, as well as being ultralight and robust.
Programmable silk-based materials
Biomedical engineers have created materials with embedded, pre-designed functions. The process enables the creation of mechanical components with functionality, such as surgical pins that change color with strain.
Parry named first Abriola Fellow
Amanda Parry was named the inaugural recipient of the Linda M. Abriola Graduate Fellowship in engineering. Learn more about Amanda and applying to graduate school.
Mitochondria expose tumors’ misbehavior
Tufts engineers help develop a new technique that could enhance standard criteria for early cancer diagnosis.
Painting a picture with data
Alvitta Ottley, who recently received her doctorate in computer science, studies visualizations, their users, and how to bring the two together.
Communicating health risks with visualizations
Associate Professor Remco Chang, students, and collaborators at Maine Medical Center created a project to investigate how older men with prostate cancer use visualizations to better understand their own health risk information.
