    It is a wood-based biodegradable seed carrier that mimics seeds of Erodium, a genus of plants with seeds that unwind coiled tails to act as a drill to plant into the ground.

    A new biodegradable seed carrier design is described in a paper in @Nature. This technology may improve the effectiveness of aerial seeding to address agricultural and environmental stresses in degraded regions.

    Tate Johnston, a @cmudesign @cmuhcii @MorphingMatLab undergrad, led a dynamic haptic work that won an honorable mention award at @acmdis2023 , a major design conference in ACM HCI. It is an elegant design twist on a popular robotic reconfigurable texture technique.

    Morphing Pasta tutorial is up, with downloadable stamping molds and links to where to print them. Some collaborators were able to successfully follow the tutorial. For non-commercial uses (e.g., research, class, STEM workshops), this is freely available! morphingmatterforgirls.org/courses/morphi…
