It's Nuclear Science Week! Virginia Tech has many strengths in this area, and ME is proud that the nuclear engineering program is part of our team. One of the most interesting technologies used by students and researchers is the molten salt loop, which uses salt's heat-retaining properties as an energy source. Amanda Leong and Jinsuo Zhang work with students and colleagues in this state-of-the-art facility. #nuclearscienceweek https://lnkd.in/ejmQswdb

Excited to see our new work on octopus-inspired adhesion written up in MIT Technology Review. We can now can pick up, hold, and release a wide range of challenging underwater objects, including soft and rigid materials that are flat, rough, and even curved (think rocks, shells, and soft gel beads)!
This octopus-inspired adhesive can stick to just about anything
