Michael Sealy holds examples of implants that can be made using the 3D metal printers available in the College of Engineering. Sealy, an assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering, is designing magnesium-based implants — screws, pins, plates — that degrade in the body over time. This would eliminate the need for follow-up surgeries to remove the implants and mitigate the aches that permanent implants can cause.

Human divers have little difficulty keeping up with gentle whale sharks during an occasional encounter. However, millions of years of evolution have shaped sharks and dolphins into ideal forms for moving quickly through water. Humans present a hybrid form that — while slower in the water — offers a versatility to move from water to land.

Could we engineer humans to swim as fast as sharks?
