Rice research could advance soft robotics manufacturing, design
Soft robots use pliant materials such as elastomers to interact safely with the human body and other challenging, delicate objects and environments. A team of Rice researchers has developed an analytical model that can predict the curing time of platinum-catalyzed silicone elastomers as a function of temperature. The model could help reduce energy waste and improve throughput for elastomer-based components manufacturing.

Black Houston(s) Symposium returns to spotlight rich Afro-diasporic heritage and contemporary realities
After a successful inaugural event in 2023, the Black Houston(s) Symposium returns this year with an event slated for March 21-22, which will bring together scholars, community members and thought leaders to explore the multifaceted narratives of Black life in Houston. Affectionately known as “H-Town” and hailed as “the Prophetic City,” Houston stands as the epitome of ethnic diversity and cultural dynamism in the United States. Since its official establishment in 1837, the city has been profoundly shaped by the contributions and resilience of Afro-diasporic communities. From the Bayou City’s inception to the present day, Black Houstonians have negotiated, redefined and created opportunities amidst the ever-evolving social, economic and political landscapes.
