The reality of it all was brought together at the "Ride and Drive" of the vehicles and technologies we have heard so much about. The one car that I had to get some seat time...

The Material Engineering and Technology group’s George Ritter has been working to develop anti-corrosion coatings based on the natural adhesives produced by mussels and barnacles. Marine organisms have been fouling ships and underwater structures for millennia. Most produce rapidly cross linking, tenacious tendrils which tethers them to surfaces. These adhesives are highly adherent and obviously...
