SUMMARY:Dr. Lei Tian Distinguished Lecture Series: Emanuela Del Gado (Georgetown)
DESCRIPTION:Connected matter: the architectures of soft materials Soft materials that we eat\, spread\, squeeze\, or 3D print are typically gels - soft amorphous solids whose structural integrity relies on self-assembled networks of particles\, fibers\, or agglomerates of proteins\, polymers\, and colloids. In biology\, the space between and within human cells is permeated by self-assembled gel networks\, the extra-cellular matrix and the cytoskeleton\, whose self- organization and heterogeneity is central to biological functions. Complex network architectures underpin the adaptive\, tunable\, and nonlinear mechanics
