It is a wood-based biodegradable seed carrier that mimics seeds of Erodium, a genus of plants with seeds that unwind coiled tails to act as a drill to plant into the ground.
A new biodegradable seed carrier design is described in a paper in @Nature. This technology may improve the effectiveness of aerial seeding to address agricultural and environmental stresses in degraded regions.
Morphing Matter Lab @MorphingMatLab contributes to five papers to be presented at #chi2023 in April, on morphing matter that thinks, human-AI collaboration in MM design tool, computational fabrication and knitting,machine augmentation. @acm_chi@cmuhcii@SCSatCMU@CMUEngineering
Tate Johnston, a @cmudesign@cmuhcii@MorphingMatLab undergrad, led a dynamic haptic work that won an honorable mention award at @acmdis2023 , a major design conference in ACM HCI. It is an elegant design twist on a popular robotic reconfigurable texture technique.
After over 3 years, ‘Morphing Pasta and Beyond’, cover feature of Science Advances! Our dreams come true: design curiosity inspires and promotes science!
How expanded contraception access led to higher graduation rates in Colorado, and why 2D pastas and other foods could reduce packaging waste and lower food costs.
These, and other stories, out now in Science Advances: fcld.ly/tcck1d0
Electronic-free devices sense, compute, morph, and interact with people - Embodied Intelligence and Interactivity. Physically encoded security: A door latch can only open when one squeezes at a certain rate. By Dr. Qiuyu (Luca) Lu and his team at #chi23@MorphingMatLab@cmuhcii
HCI community, please help spread the news! In an effort to be inclusive in forming the UIST2024 organizing committee, @mynkgoel and I, as the general co-chairs, are issuing this open call to HCI researchers. We welcome you from everywhere around the world! # UIST2024@Pittsburgh.
Call to be an organizing committee member for UIST 2024. Help us organize UIST by applying to be a part of the organizing committee. Please fill out linked form by September 15th. It should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. forms.gle/zV1366D3uDTFLJ…
Morphing Pasta tutorial is up, with downloadable stamping molds and links to where to print them. Some collaborators were able to successfully follow the tutorial. For non-commercial uses (e.g., research, class, STEM workshops), this is freely available!
