FYS 1242 - Materials Mimicking Nature

Credits: 4
Nature has evolved over time to create structures and materials with amazing properties. In this course students will examine the work scientists have done to mimic these materials. The students will gain understanding of how nature has solved problems such as self-healing, adhesion, and harnessing solar energy. Student presentations will explore different materials scientists have made in an attempt to make materials smarter than nature. Finally students will explore the question – can we make materials smarter than nature?
