The New England Workshop on the Mechanics of
Materials and Structures, NEW.Mech, was held at Harvard University, Cambridge,
MA on September 25th, 2010. NEW.Mech
was a one-day workshop that brought together the New England Mechanics
community with an interest in exploring new directions on the Mechanics of Soft
Materials and Structures and in sharing the latest advances in the field. The workshop was modeled after the
MRSEC-sponsored New England Complex Fluids Workshop. It was very successful, with more than 200 participants,
including engineers, material scientists, biologists and soft matter
physicists. This workshop will become a recurring annual event, rotating
through other New England locations in the upcoming years.
