Cyclone Engineers

Change Agent: Martin Thuo, materials science and engineering

Martin Thuo and his research group have developed heat-free solder. They’ve printed electronics on rose petals. They’ve made “chameleon metals” that change surfaces in response to heat. With a bit of “metal whispering,” they’ve found a better way to recover precious metals from electronic waste. And now, after two and a half years of work, they’ve invented a new seed lubricant. What’s the source of that creativity? Read More
