In 1995, MIT’s Nicholas Negroponte predicted that “being digital” would have us entering a realm increasingly unconstrained by the materiality of the world. Two decades later, our everyday lives are indeed ever more suffused by computation and calculation. But unwieldy materiality persists and even reasserts itself. Programmable matter, self-assembling structures, 3D/4D printing, wearable technologies and bio-inspired design today capture the attention of engineers, scientists and artists. “BEING MATERIAL” showcased recent developments in materials systems and design, placing this work in dialogue with kindred and contrasting philosophy, art practice and critique. Panels on the PROGRAMMABLE, WEARABLE, LIVABLE and INVISIBLE—along with a concert, AUDIBLE—explored new and unexpected meetings of the digital and material worlds.

When a blood vessel model is irradiated with X-rays, the blood vessels themselves are not visible at first. It is only after the injection of a contrast medium that the blood vessels become visible.
Bestrahlt man ein Blutadermodell mit Röntgenstrahlung, so ist der Verlauf der Adern zunächst nicht zu sehen. Erst nach der Injektion eines Kontrastmittel sind die Adern zu erkennen.

Electrical energy from solar cells supplies an electrolyser. The gases generated by the PEM electrolyser - hydrogen and oxygen - are sent directly to the PEM fuel cell. The electrical energy generated is used to drive a small motor. The solar cells can be irradiated by a 120-watt lamp or sunlight.
Elektrische Energie von Solarzellen versorgt einen Elektrolyseur. Die vom PEM-Elektrolyseur erzeugten Gase, Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff, werden direkt in die PEM-Brennstoffzelle geleitet. Die erzeugte elektrische Energie versorgt einen kleinen Motor. Zur Beleuchtung der Solarzellen kann eine 120-W-Lampe oder Sonnenlicht eingesetzt werden.

To wrap up our summer, the student researchers put together posters to present what we had been working on for the previous few months. This took place in August, 2012. I am shown standing next to the poster that I presented. However, there were many more research topics I spent time on that I did not present on, I was kept quite busy during this co-op.

This set-up shows how blood flow studies are performed using Doppler ultrasound (Doppler sonograph). On a realistic arm dummy, the differences between continuous (venous) and pulsating (arterial) flow are shown as well as the difference in flow through a normal blood vessel and a stenosis.
Blutflussuntersuchungen können mit Hilfe von Doppler-Ultraschall durchgeführt werden (Doppler-Sonografie). An einem realistischen Armmodell werden die Unterschiede zwischen kontinuierlichem (venösem) und pulsatilem (arteriellem) Fluss sowie zwischen normalem Blutfluss und einer Stenose gezeigt.
This experiment explains the principle behind the use of a parabolic trough in the heating of liquids and the benefits it offers. A parabolic trough enables a larger share of incident energy to be utilised. It so increases the efficiency of the apparatus.
Dieser Versuch verdeutlicht das Prinzip der Erwärmung von Flüssigkeiten mithilfe einer Parabolrinne und deren Vorteile. Durch die Parabolrinne ist es möglich, einen größeren Anteil der eintreffenden Energie zu nutzen, dies steigert den Wirkungsgrad der Apparatur.
Similarly to solar energy, wind energy is a regenerative form of energy. It differs in that it has been used by man for centuries, for example, in windmills, in which it is converted to mechanical energy. In recent times, wind power plants have been brought to use for the generation of electric energy.
Windenergie ist wie die Sonnenenergie eine regenerative Energieform, nur dass diese bereits seit Jahrhunderten vom Menschen genutzt wird. Früher hat man die Windenergie in mechanische Energie, wie zum Beispiel bei Windmühlen, umgewandelt.
The properties of the micro-organism Zymomonas mobilis have been used in the production of alcohol for centuries. Nevertheless, the bacterium in palm wine and pulque, the fermented juice of the agave plant, was not identified and recognised as being responsible for their alcoholic fermentation until the twentieth century.
Die Eigenschaften des Mikroorganismus Zymomonas mobilis werden bereits seit Jahrhunderten für die Herstellung von Alkohol genutzt. Jedoch konnte erst im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert das Bakterium in Palmwein und Pulque, dem gärenden Saft der Agave identifiziert und für die alkoholische Gärung verantwortlich gemacht werden. Zymomonas erwies sich als wesentlich effektiver in der Ethanolsynthese als die Hefe.

Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range solar powered aircraft project being undertaken at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The project eventually hopes to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power. The project is led by Swiss psychiatrist and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop, and Swiss businessman André Borschberg.
Piccard initiated the Solar Impulse project in 2003. By 2009, he had assembled a multi-disciplinary team of 50 specialists from six countries, assisted by about 100 outside advisers. The project is financed by a number of private companies. The four main partners are Deutsche Bank, Omega SA, Solvay, and Schindler. Other partners include Bayer MaterialScience, Altran, Swisscom and Swiss Re (Corporate Solutions). Other supporters include Clarins, Semper, Toyota, BKW and STG. The EPFL, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Dassault have provided additional technical expertise, while Bay Area based SunPower provided the aircraft's photovoltaic cells.

The solar ray collector is illuminated with a halogen lamp of known light intensity. The heat energy absorbed by the collector can be calculated from the volume flow and the difference in the water temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the absorber, if the inlet temperature stays almost constant by releasing energy to a reservoir.
Der Sonnenkollektor wird von einer Halogenlampe mit bekannter Lichtintensität beleuchtet. Die Wärme, die vom Kollektor aufgenommen wird, kann berechnet werden aus dem Volumenstrom und dem Unterschied in der Wassertemperatur am Eingang und am Ausgang des Absorbers, wenn die Eingangstemperatur (durch Wärmeabgabe an ein Reservoir) nahezu konstant bleibt.

My co-op employer paid to send me to Cambridge University, United Kingdom to meet and work with a research collaborator. This academic year (2012-2013), I have seen more bikes on campus than my previous three years. However, in Cambridge the students even locked their bikes to plants. To add to that, this picture was taken in October, 2012!

Sitting atop the Earth is a gigantic, antique lead-acid battery whose red and black leads are patched with coiled cables into contacts set into the Earth's surface. On the side of the battery is a green, circular recycling logo.

BI LED ACHROMATIC PLASTIC LENS
•OEM Make & Model: Ford Motor Co. 2013MY Lincoln® MKZ® luxuary sedan
•Tier Supplier/Processor: Valeo Sylvania / Eschenbach Optik GmbH
•Material Supplier / Toolmaker: Bayer MaterialScience / Eschenbach Optik GmbH
•Material / Process: Makrolon® LED2245 PC
•Description: This is the first time a plastic lens has been used as a headlamp projector. The achromatic plastic lens with microstructure features allows 2 different beam patterns (high- and low-beam) to be created with a single-piece PC lens produced in a single molding operation. The lens is laser welded to the lens bracket for precision location. Versus glass, the plastic lens can be lit with an LED instead of halogen lamp (saving energy), provides a 45% weight reduction and a cost save of $14.30 USD / vehicle, and offers far greater styling versatility.
