DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Assistant Professor Carlos Portela\, MechE\n\nAbstra
 ct: \n\nArchitected materials have been ubiquitous in nature\, enabling un
 ique properties that are unachievable by monolithic\, homogeneous material
 s. Inspired by natural processes\, human-made three-dimensional (3D) archi
 tected materials have been reported to enable novel mechanical properties 
 such as high stiffness-to-density ratios or extreme resilience\, increasin
 gly so when nanoscale size effects are present. However\, most architected
  materials have relied on advanced additive manufacturing (AM) techniques 
 that are not yet scalable and yield small sample sizes—particularly if m
 icro- or nanoscale features are desired. In this talk\, we will discuss a 
 few ongoing challenges in the push to enable architected materials beyond 
 laboratory settings\, as well as recent developments that aim to address t
 hese challenges. In particular\, we will discuss a fabrication method that
  could bypass advanced AM processes in the creation of nano-architected ma
 terials with nano-shell morphologies\, along with novel material designs t
 hat could enable extreme extensibility and on-demand tunable mechanical re
 sponse.    \n\nBio:\n\nCarlos Portela is the d’Arbeloff Career Developme
 nt Professor in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. Dr. Portela received his Ph
 .D. and M.S. in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Te
 chnology. His research lies at the intersection of materials science\, mec
 hanics\, and nano-to-macro fabrication with the objective of designing and
  testing novel materials—with features spanning from nanometers to centi
 meters—that yield unprecedented mechanical and acoustic properties. Pres
 ent application areas in Dr. Portela’s group involve the creation of nov
 el lightweight armor materials\, ultrasonic devices for medical purposes\,
  and new generations of highly resilient structural materials. \n\nZoom in
