Chemists have developed a nanomaterial that they can trigger to shape shift from flat sheets to tubes and back to sheets again in a controllable fashion. The Journal of the American Chemical Society published a description of the nanomaterial, which was developed at Emory University and holds potential for a range of biomedical applications, from controlled-release drug delivery to tissue engineering.
The nanomaterial, which in sheet form is 10,000 times thinner than the width of a human hair, is made of synthetic collagen. Naturally occurring collagen is the most abundant protein in humans, making the new material intrinsically biocompatible.

The statement also promised that the school would develop programming for the upcoming semester on antisemitism, free speech and hate speech.
