Hydrogels: Next Generation Atmospheric Water Harvesting Materials

Biomimetics for next generation materials.

Billions of years of evolution have produced extremely efficient natural materials, which are increasingly becoming a source of inspiration for engineers. Biomimetics-the science of imitating nature-is a growing multidisciplinary field which is now leading to the fabrication of novel materials with remarkable mechanical properties. This article discusses the mechanics of hard biological materia...

Next-Generation Global and Mesoscale Atmospheric Models

The long-term goal of this research is to construct a unified global and mesoscale nonhydrostatic numerical weather prediction (NWP) models for the U.S. Navy using new numerical methods specifically designed for modern computer architectures; this unified model is called the Nonhydrostatic Unified Model of the Atmosphere or NUMA. To take full advantage of distributedmemory computers, the global...
