⚽🔬What do the Trionda World Cup match ball and cutting-edge research at Rice University have in common? More than you might think. Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Daniel J. Preston explains how the same thermal bonding technology used to fuse the ball's four panels for precision performance is also powering materials research at Rice, from assistive wearable robots to advanced thermal management technologies. It's a reminder that materials engineering isn't just shaping the future, it's already changing the game. #RiceUniversity #RiceU #FIFAWorldCup
