...have Phase One begin and end in 2006, he could not predict when the whole project would be completed. While sidewalks, bus stops, and pedestrian safety are major concerns of the committee, DiGiovanni said that much thought has been put into a detailed plan to “transform Palmer Street into the most photographed street in Harvard Square.” Palmer Street, the cobblestone alley between either entrance of the Coop, is scheduled to be completed as part of Phase One of the project that will begin in the Spring. The street will include special lighting...
They may be driven to leave, as Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West ’74 was after President Summers derided him in 2002. Or, like Lecturer Brian Palmer ’86, they may be denied a new contract despite teaching one of the most popular, engaging, and politically explosive classes that I, for one, have ever taken...
...slams down on his feet or a skier who hits a slalom gate at 70 m.p.h. While better protection is the obvious answer, skaters want thin sneaker soles so they can feel their board, and skiers are reluctant to relinquish any flexibility. Enter snowboard-loving British inventors Richard Palmer and Phil Green, both 39, and their new material, d3o, which can perform a few high-speed tricks of its own. d3o's molecules flow as an athlete moves, but on impact they bind together instantaneously to absorb shock, then unlock to become soft and elastic once again...
Managing director Palmer, an industrial designer and engineer, set up a design company focused on innovation in 1999. He became interested in dilatant materials, whose unique flowing and locking molecular bond was discovered in the '50s. Palmer figured that if these properties could be combined with an elastic element that returned a material to its original shape after impact, you'd have a product with innumerable applications. After three years in the lab--at one time making mixes in a food blender--Green came up with...
