The human side of warfare: OSU collaboration shaping future of America’s fighters

OSU collaboration shaping future of America’s fighters Improving the U.S. Department of Defense’s capability to evaluate weapons systems requires more than firepower. It needs engineering precision focused on human-centered design, all in the effort to save American lives.  
MAE researchers focused on discovering properties of synthetic metastable materials

Mon, Feb 16, 2026

Metastable materials exist in a temporary state but can undergo significant changes when exposed to high-pressure or high-temperature conditions. An example of this is that graphite is a stable phase of carbon, and when facing high pressures, it can be transformed into a diamond.
