About the presentation
Since Robert Goddard’s groundbreaking liquid-fueled rocket research, the Worcester community has played a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Today, local R&D and manufacturing firm Multiscale Systems continues the tradition by developing new advanced materials in, perhaps, surprising ways – by combining computational design and the art of origami.
Join us as Jesse Silverberg from Multiscale Systems takes us on a captivating journey through origami-based space technologies. Discover how Multiscale’s collaboration with NASA has helped develop its own origami-based technology: metamaterial composites. Learn about these advanced materials and why they’re uniquely suited for the challenging environment of space and the exploration of our solar system.
