- Assistant Professor Marina Vance’s group has published a new research paper titled “Indoor particulate matter during HOMEChem: Concentrations, size distributions, and exposures” in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
- McNeill, a mechanical engineering instructor in the program for the last eight years, will start the new position on July 1.
- Researchers at have developed an improved method for controlling smart tinting on windows that could make them cheaper, more effective and more durable than current options on the market.
- A multidisciplinary team is working to build a pilot-scale system capable of producing 10,000 to 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines per run that would be ready for use as human trials of vaccines begin in the next year.
- This machine, the brainchild of engineer Kaushik Jayaram and colleagues at Harvard University, gives a whole new meaning to the word small: HAMR-Jr can just about squeeze onto the surface of a penny and weighs far less than a paperclip.
- researchers have discovered that a synthetic molecule based on natural antifreeze proteins minimizes freeze-thaw damage and increases the strength and durability of concrete, improving the longevity of new infrastructure and decreasing carbon emissions over its lifetime.
- Innovative 'backpack' particles help macrophages resist assimilation by tumors.
- Professor Yifu Ding is starting a new research project that explores how soft robots of the future could include new materials inspired by snakeskin.
- biomedical engineer Jacob Segil is working to bring back that sense of touch for amputees, including veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- A new interdisciplinary project from the National Science Foundation aims to improve our understanding of solar flares and our ability to predict them.
