A collaboration between the University of Michigan and AFRL has resulted in 3D-printed metamaterials that can block vibrations using complex geometries. Inspired by nature and theoretical physics, these “kagome tubes” demonstrate how geometry can yield properties that chemistry alone cannot achieve. While the innovation could reshape structural design, researchers still face challenges in balancing weight and strength while developing new testing frameworks.

MADISON –Additional FEMA help may be available from the August storms and flooding in Milwaukee, Washington and Waukesha counties.

Continued Housing Assistance  

If you received initial rental assistance from FEMA because your home was not safe to live in, and you are still working toward your permanent housing plan, continued temporary housing assistance may be available.

Check Your Heating Systems, Stay in Touch with FEMA

Take the time now to ensure your furnace and water heater are operating safely and weren’t damaged by the August storms and flooding. FEMA grants may be available to help repair those items and replace them if they were destroyed by floodwaters.

If you receive a FEMA grant to repair your furnace or water heater and later discover those items need to be replaced, you can use the

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Liquefaction Capacity File, and trade press
Note: Export capacity shown is project’s baseload capacity. Online dates of LNG export projects under construction are estimates based on trade press and do not reflect expectations for projects ramping to full production following initial shipment. LNG=liquefied natural gas; FLNG=floating liquefied natural gas

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters in the United States have announced plans to more than double U.S. liquefaction capacity, adding an estimated 13.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) between 2025 and 2029, according to our Liquefaction Capacity File and trade press reports. The United States is already the largest exporter in the world with 15.4 Bcf/d of capacity.

More broadly, LNG export capacity in North America is on track to increase from 11.4 Bcf/d at
