yay nanotechnology

"Transparent alumina could usher in a new world where windows deflect bullets, or airplane windows don't shatter when they hit a goose at Mach 4. The downside being that if they make car windows out of it, people who don't wear their seat belts will no longer live the dream of being "thrown clear" of the accident, and more likely wind up as "that guy whose nose shot out his ass.""


I'm actually trying to do the 'non-newtonian fluids' body armor bit for my senior design.

kind of. the professors all get together and come up with their own projects (in CHE its biofuel production mostly, although we had a beer brewing and there's often 1 nanotech project) and you choose your top three. However, you can also propose your own project, which is what I'm trying to do, and if it gets accepted then people apply to your project. I'm not sure how the team selection bit goes though. I think the professors just do it by GPA and other oddities.

The faculty in charge of senior design has approved my project and I have 2 professors who would advise my team, but we just have to clear it with the professor at another university who has done a ton of work on it.
