This quarter's Convergence magazine provided "A UCSB tale of curiosity-driven faculty, tenaciously applied expertise, and the pursuit of new materials via long-term collaborations that blur the lines of disciplinary divides."  The article describes work pursued by IRG3, an interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers led by Profs. Megan Valentine and Matt Helgeson to understand resilient multiphase soft materials within the Materials Research Laboratory, an NSF MRSEC.  The article included artistic drawings of each faculty member involved -- Prof. Valentine's drawing is on the left.
