Research

A red smear shows where one of the wheels left a mark on the barrier along with the rest of the tanker. Researchers from the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility conducted a rare tractor-tanker crash to test how a newly designed and significantly less tall concrete roadside barrier performs in a crash. The test was at the facility’s Outdoor Proving Grounds on the western edge of the Lincoln Municipal Airport. December 8, 2021. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.

Ethan Krings, graduate student in mechanical engineering from Humphrey, Nebraska, holds a rubber-like “N” embedded with liquid metal droplets that themselves contain glass microparticles, Markvicka's team has improved the material's thermal conductivity while retaining its natural pliability. That could make the approach useful in engineering wearable technologies and soft robotics that can shed the excess heat produced by their microelectronics — reducing the risk of overheating — while remaining lightweight and elastic enough for practical use.
