Fabrizio Scarpa : "Cellular structures for morphing wings and reflectors" In recent years the aerospace R&D community has witnessed a significant surge in research activities connected to morphing aerospace structures. This seminar describes the results from modelling and testing prototypes of wingboxes and satellite antenna reflectors made with cellular configurations. The cellular structures used (honeycombs, truss-cores, lattices) show negative and zero Poisson’s ratio behaviours, and are made from polimeric, shape memory alloy and embedded piezoelectr

Acids and Bases: Cabbage Juice Indicator
The substances that chemists collectively call acids and bases come in many different forms. Despite this variety, all acids tend to react with other substances in much the same way. Reactions involving bases also share many common characteristics with one another. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members demonstrate how to use cabbage juice to determine whether a solution is acidic or basic. (1:34)

Duke Kidney Transplant Paired Donation Program
For those seeking a kidney transplant, finding a living donor who matches your need can be difficult. Watch how three families were impacted by the Duke Kidney Paired Donation Program. The program assists donor and recipient pairs who are incompatible or poorly matched in finding another donor and recipient pair with whom they can exchange kidneys to enable better matching, allowing a transplant to take place.
