Tech Transfer

Guests: Larry Howell, PhD, Mechanical Engineering Professor at BYU; Mike Alder, Director of BYU’s Technology Transfer Office The art of origami is inspiring engineering innovation here at BYU. Scientists on campus have collaborated with NASA to design a solar panel that would expand to ten times its size after it’s launched into space. Now, mechanical engineering professor Larry Howell is turning to the potential of very tiny origami for use in surgery.
