Recently, the Texas A&M University College of Engineering kicked off an online version of its Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. Taking place over the summer, this fully remote program gives 58 students from around the U.S. valuable research experience in computational modeling, theory and data-driven topics in science and engineering.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Svetlana Sukhishvili, professor in the materials science and engineering department and director of the Soft Matter Facility at Texas A&M University, is developing the next generation of biomedical soft materials.
Texas A&M researchers have created a new antioxidant mat made from nanofibers of polymers and tannic acid. These mesh-like mats are strong, stable and deliver antioxidant activity for prolonged periods of time.
Materials engineering is an applied field that seeks to design materials with some desired physical properties to serve a particular engineering function.
