In August, the Minority Innovation Challenges Institute (MICI) completed its month long presentations focused on the NASA Strong Tether Competition. This competition, sponsored by NASA, featured potential cash prizes totaling $2 million if competitors could achieve certain technological thresholds.
The month included presentations from: Ben Shelef (upper left) the contest organizer; Dr. Gilberto Brambilla, a competitor in the 2010 Competition; Dr. Mario Encinosa, a professor at Florida A&M who discussed the theory nanotube technology; and Dr. Kalayu Belay, a professor at Florida A&M who provided an advanced discussion of carbon nanotubes.
