Philanthropy is vital in advancing the science needed to address global challenges. Our co-founder @wenschmidt is an inspiring example. Thank you for your unwavering support for science @schmidtsciences @SchmidtOcean forbes.com/sites/elisabet…
A research team with Professors Wei Chen and Ryan Truby harnessed physics, computation, and 3D printing to autonomously produce materials that change shape on demand. spr.ly/6016APlO0
Professor Ryan Truby (@TrubyLab) developed a soft artificial muscle, paving the way for untethered animal- and human-scale robots. The new actuators provide the performance and mechanical properties required for building robotic musculoskeletal systems. spr.ly/6018fr932
Congrats to Dr. Jina Ko on receiving a 2025 NSF CAREER Award for advancing early disease detection with cutting-edge diagnostics! Read More: bit.ly/3SbKiSW #NSFCAREER #WomenInSTEM
Attach an auxetic structure—that expands when pulled on—to a servo motor and you’ve got a more useful hardy soft robot. asme.org/topics-resourc…
Enormous congratulations, Jennifer!
Happy holidays from the RML :)
A team of @NorthwesternEng students won the highest honors at @NASA's 2024 BIG Idea Challenge for their space-saving metal inflatable system 💡🏆 The Artemis Award recognizes the idea with the best potential to contribute to future moon missions—congrats! spr.ly/6011txLOv
🚀 250+ researchers, policymakers & leaders celebrate launching the @SchmidtFellows & @timeshighered Interdisciplinary Science Rankings at #THEISF🌍 #THEISR recognises universities breaking barriers, fostering collaboration & driving transformative discoveries
Our @NorthwesternU undergrads won the @NASA BIG Idea Challenge! I couldn’t be more proud of the METALS Team and their receiving the Artemis Award. Their technology is *literally* having out of this world impact!
