Place two large, sturdy logs in a streambed, and they will help guide the water in a particular direction. But imagine if the water started mimicking the rigidity of the logs in addition to flowing along them. That's essentially what happens in a directed assembly method developed by Marilyn Minus, an assistant professor in Northeastern's Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
