[fusion_text]Former CEE PhD student Chia-Ching Chou ’15, research scientists Fran Martin-Martinez and Zhao Quin, and CEE Department Head and McAfee Professor of Engineering Markus Buehler recently published research that uses protein from the strong and adaptable jaw of a marine worm to model its behavior in various environments. The jaw is made of soft, organic matter but becomes as strong as bones and minerals in different environments, and thus could be used to control soft robotics. The research was conducted in collaboration with the Air Force Research Lab and was recently published in ACS Nano. More information can be found on MIT News.[/fusion_text]
