Wang named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list

Dr. Wang's goal is to help solve climate change and build useful products at the same time.https://www.forbes.com/profile/haotian-wang/#1a66df087413

They have created a liquid crystal elastomer that can be molded into shapes that shift from one to another when heated. (Credit: Jeff Fitlow/Rice University)

Mighty morphing materials take complex shapes

Rafael Verduzco and Morgan Barnes demonstrate sophisticated shape-shifters for soft robots, biomedical applications.

Rice University graduate student Ashleigh Smith McWilliams holds a vial of boron nitride nanotubes in solution. McWilliams led a Rice effort to find the best way to separate the naturally clumping nanotubes to make them more useful for manufacturing. The nanotubes turn the clear liquid surfactant white when they are dispersed. (Credit: Rice University)

Once unstuck, boron nitride nanotubes show promise

Matteo Pasquali lab's research could lead to better protective shields for electronics, biomedical advances.
