The researchers at USC have determined that groundwater likely exists in a broader geographical area than just the poles of Mars and that there is an active system, as deep as 750 meters, from which groundwater comes to the surface through cracks in the specific craters they analyzed.

Researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering have developed 3D-printed rubber materials that can do just that.​Instead of throwing away your broken boots or cracked toys, why not let them fix themselves? Researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering have developed 3D-printed rubber materials that can do just that.​ Assistant Professor Qiming Wang works in the world of 3D printed materials, creating new functions for a variety of purposes, from flexible electronics to sound control. Now, working with Viterbi students Kunhao Yu, An Xin, and Haixu Du, and University of Connecticut Assistant Professor Ying Li, they have made a new material that can be manufactured quickly and is able to repair itself if it becomes fractured or punctured. This material could be game-changing for industries like shoes, tires, soft robotics, University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering /articles/what-can-a-snowflake-teach-us-about-how-cancer-spreads-in-the-body?/?sc=rsin /articles/what-can-a-snowflake-teach-us-about-how-cancer-spreads-in-the-body?/?sc=rsin Wed, 12 Dec 2018 12:05:45 EST Conventional math cannot adequately model the interaction of multiple genes over multiple time frames - a necessary foundation for any cancer-fighting drugs.
