This experiment demonstrates how biodegradable materials and conductive inks can be used to build electronic circuits that function normally yet decompose naturally over time, showcasing a sustainable approach to reducing e-waste.

This experiment demonstrates how to synthesize and program shape-memory polymers that can deform and return to their original shape when heated, showcasing smart materials used in robotics, medical devices, and self-healing systems.

This experiment demonstrates how graphene electrodes can be used to build a supercapacitor with rapid charging, high power density, and long cycle life.

This experiment demonstrates how to build and test a prototype solid-state lithium-ion battery using a polymer electrolyte and layered electrodes. Unlike traditional liquid-electrolyte batteries, solid-state cells promise improved safety, stability, and energy density. The project introduces students to ion conduction, electrode chemistry, and the future of energy storage technologies

This lab demonstrates how a thermochromic ‘smart window’ darkens as it heats up—passively cutting solar heat gain—by measuring the drop in light transmission with temperature.
