Happy Spring Break 🌸☀️
Stay safe & enjoy!! 🌴💛
#GTMSE #SpringBreak #GoJackets #StaySafe

Merry Christmas! Holiday traditions, but make it materials science:

🎄 cellulose tree structures

🎁 glossy polymer-coated wrapping paper

🍬 sugar-matrix gingerbread architecture

The season is made of science.

Bugs are more than just background noise—they’re design geniuses.
From the nanostructures of butterfly wings to the ventilation systems of termite mounds, nature’s tiny engineers are helping us rethink materials science.
It’s National Be Nice to Bugs Day—give ’em the credit they deserve.

It's officially summer! Let's talk about the science of vacation. The beach is made of science:
🪨 Sand = quartz (SiO₂)
🐚 Shells = calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
💧 Water = ions like Na⁺ & Cl⁻
A soft materials showcase right under your feet 🌊
#MaterialsScience #GTMSE #BeachScience

Huanyu Zhou (Dr. Facchetti’s group) attended the Spring MRS Conference in Seattle, where he organized Symposium EL14 and chaired the first sessions on Stretchable Optoelectronics—an exciting step forward for the field. #GTMSE #StretchableElectronics #MRS2025

Our first Stingelin Group social of the summer was a blast 🥂. We were honored to host a special guest: Gitti Frey
#Summertime #ScienceRocks #GTMSE #OrganicSemiconductors

Ice cream = triphase material:
❄️ Ice crystals
💨 Air bubbles
🧈 Fat emulsion
It’s soft matter science in a cone!
Cool structure, creamy texture—all thanks to materials engineering 🍦

Happy #NationalGardeningWeek 🌿
Gardens aren’t just beautiful—they’re built on materials science:
Ceramics in pots, polymers in gloves, alloys in tools, even soil porosity!
Nature meets engineering right in your backyard.

On this Memorial Day, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Georgia Tech honors their memory and service with deep gratitude.

The library’s more brittle than an untempered ceramic.
No grain boundaries of crumpled notes, no thermal shock from caffeine crashes.
Clearly, our students were the dopants keeping this structure strong.

What does a day in MSE at Georgia Tech look like? For National Photography Month, we're sharing snapshots from faculty and staff — scenes of research, collaboration, and campus beauty.
The science is stunning, but so are the people behind it.
