  • CEE Seminar – Assessing Releases from Solid Materials: From Stress to Exposure

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Regulatory frameworks for chemicals, materials, and advanced products increasingly require quantitative exposure data as a core component of safety dossiers. For solid materials, however, exposure assessment remains challenging because releases are not static properties but emerge dynamically over a material's life cycle, driven by mechanical, environmental, thermal, and use-related stresses. Without robust methods to identify […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Khalid Salaita

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Cells are highly dynamic structures that are constantly converting chemical energy into mechanical work to pull and push on one another and on their surroundings. These pulls and pushes are mediated by tiny molecular forces at the scale of piconewtons. For context, 7 pN applied a distance of 1 nm is ~1 kcal/mol. Nonetheless, […]
