The New York Times Magazine this weekend featured a Harvard undergraduate student from China, and her work to shake up education in China. The article is long, but if you grew up in China, it should be a quick read, and fun. If you grew up in US or Europe, perhaps this is a helpful read, just to learn how other people live.

Mechanics of Precisely Controlled Thin Film Buckling on Elastomeric Substrate
Laguna Beach, CA March 31, 2007 -- Kebaili Corporation a leading California based high-tech company announced today the release of the CPG-500 Series, the industry first compact current pulse generator, specifically designed for electrodeposition applications, such as (direct current) DC plating, pulse plating, and periodic reverse pulse plating for a variety of applications in MEMS and nanotechnology.
My name is Matthias Irmscher and I am a graduate student currently visiting the University of Maryland for a year. I will finish my equivalent of a Master's degree at the Technical University of Ilmenau in Germany by the end of 2008. I am a current Fulbright grantee.
Dear All,
My name is Ravikumar Sanapala. I am doing Master of Science (M.S) in Mechanical Engineering at University of Maryland. I recieved a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) degree in Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India.
The molecular building blocks of a cell include:
My name is Mohamed Nefatni. I'm a senior in Mechanical Engineering, expecting to graduate in December 2007. I was born in Tunisia (North Africa) and came to the U.S 4 years ago. I'm a transfer student from Montgomery College. I'm actually planning to apply for graduate school and my research interests are Electronic packaging and Reliability.
What boundary conditions would allow failure to occur in the gauge length and not at or near the clamps? One is not allowed (in suggesting ways of overcoming stress concentation at the clamps) to create defects in the nanotube or nanowire, to configure the region where failure will occur. Thus, it is not possible (or is it?) to create an analog of dog-bone specimens by, e.g., milling away part of the nanowire with a focused ion beam, etc., because this creates defects in the nanowire.
The 28th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science addresses the whole range from fundamental understanding to industrial applications. Topics include:

I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering. My research field is the reliability of electronics and packaging. These topics have a big relationship with the manfacturing process of the electronics.
