My story on Lining Yao and the Morphing Matter Lab was recently published by @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social in Berkeley Engineer magazine.
The new issue of Berkeley Engineer magazine is out now!

Our cover story highlights how science meets shapeshifting at the Morphing Matter Lab. Other features cover medical innovations, an at-home diagnostic test and a new color "olo."
