USM Researchers Collaborate to Discover Breakthrough in New Polymer Technology
SUMMARY:
The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) partnered with NIST, Arizona State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create a novel polymer that visualizes shockwaves during high-velocity impacts. This research, published in Nature Communications, reveals how mechanophore molecules illuminate under extreme force, aiding in the understanding of energy absorption and trauma responses. Insights from this technology could enhance healthcare, military defense, and space exploration materials. Key contributors from USM included Dr. Sarah Morgan and her team, emphasizing the collaboration’s role in military engineering research and student engagement.

SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
