Urbana, IL | Posted on May 14th, 2021
Drawing inspiration from biological circulatory systems such as blood vessels or the leaves on a tree University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have worked on developing vascularized structural composites for more than a decade, creating materials that are lightweight and able to self-heal and self-cool.
The Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship supports new, out-of-the box ideas where researcher creativity intersects with the unknown. According to the Department of Defense, it is also its most prestigious single-investigator award. This year, Marco Panes
