Teaching Kindergarten and Elementary School Mathematics
As much fun as Nitinol, FEA, moire interferometry, medical devices and all the other cool stuff I get to work on is, nothing is [...]
Recent Moire Interferometry Experiments
We dusted off the interferometer recently to perform some new experiments on Nitinol. The photo on the left shows our four beam phase shifted [...]
Biomimetics/Biomimicry: State of the Art
It has been ten years since I first read Janine’s book and I am pleased to see that the field of Biomimicry, Biomimetics---or whatever [...]
