Suspensions of non-Brownian particles in fluids are commonly found in nature (e.g. mud, soils, and debris flows) and in the industry (e.g. paints, food, and cosmetics). Understanding the relations between […]
Lightweight structures are the product of the science of making systems as light as possible with constraints, which often refer to being sufficiently strong and stiff. Although the development of […]

Stress-induced solid-to-solid phase transitions form a large class of phase transitions in nature. They occur in materials that can exhibit different crystal structures under different conditions (stress and temperature), and […]
PIRE REACT Summer Student Program presents a talk for summer student researchers in STEM and their graduate student mentors; all are welcome. "Climate & Diplomacy: How cities around the world […]

Surface force-mediated adhesion, e.g. van der Waals forces, is critical for direct bonding of bulk solids in the absence of an adhesive layer. However, no two surfaces are ideally flat […]
Earth’s mesosphere is the least studied part of our atmosphere. The data it contains within itself can help develop more comprehensive and accurate models of the atmosphere and can help […]
Precipitation-strengthened alloys are a commercially important class of materials because their mechanical properties can be altered by changing the microstructure through heat-treatment. Specifically, precipitates are introduced into the bulk (matrix) […]
