An interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Karl Zelik explores how wearable sensor technology can monitor bone stress in runners, developing a new multi-sensor algorithm that could save runners from months of pain and recovery time. Read More

There is huge momentum toward adoption of battery electric vehicles primarily because performances are meeting or exceeding the properties of traditional automobiles. Consumers want electric vehicles that have similar driving range (energy density) and charging styles and times (power density) to gasoline powered vehicles. “One pathway to improving the energy density of the battery, or...

For more than a decade Matt Lang and collaborators across the U.S. have worked to recreate key components of T-cells and how they know when to start fighting disease. Conventional wisdom suggested that T-cells formed regular, force-free bonds with infected cells, and in doing so caused the chain reaction of immune response. The team slowly...

A new, $8.7 million project—Design. R–AI-assisted CPS Design—involves pathbreaking work for the Defense Advanced ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ Projects Agency as future cyber-physical systems will rely less on human control and more machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence processors.

²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ researchers awarded one of NSF’s 24 new projects to drive future manufacturing One of the challenges of drug delivery systems is to optimize their targeting properties so therapeutic compounds used in smaller amounts reach only a specific area of the body and result in little or no side effects. The ability to engineer the...

²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ engineers have received a $1.4 million NIH grant to work toward a compact, silent, less expensive and potentially portable MRI device.

All software is not created equal. At one end are apps on a smartphone and consumer-facing programs for which periodic updates to fix bugs and security issues are routine, like replacing an air conditioning filter or getting an annual flu shot. At the other end are large, complex software systems such as software used in...

Developing atomically thin graphene membranes used to separate salt from water is extraordinarily complex and the effort grows more crucial as population growth, industrialization and climate change strain freshwater resources. ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ engineering researchers report a breakthrough in scalable fabrication of graphene membrane with a sealing technology that corrects variations in the pore size so they...

Mark Does, professor of biomedical engineering has been selected as a Fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. His research program focuses on developing and applying MRI methods to quantitatively characterize various properties and/or compositions of tissue. It includes developing models of nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation and water diffusion in tissue, development...

Craig Duvall, Cornelius ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ Professor of Engineering, has been elevated to the rank of Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society. Duvall and his research program focus on development of technologies for controlled drug release, tissue regeneration and therapeutics, and delivery of intracellular-acting biologic drugs such as siRNA and peptide therapeutics. The applications of these technologies...

²¤ÂÜÊÓƵers from ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ University and ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ University Medical Center have received a $1.4 million grant from the National Eye Institute at the National Institute of Health to identify surgical techniques that improve vision after macular hole repair.

A recent mechanical engineering doctoral graduate has created a material for welding in extreme conditions that could minimize equipment needed and operator hazards.

Lucy Britto is one of six ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ undergraduates selected as a MARC scholar in the inaugural 2020 cohort of an innovative National Institutes of Health program.

A bold engineering approach by a ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ University researcher to sort breast cancer cells based on their behavior first has produced compelling data that show less migratory cells create more metastases, contradicting the prevailing hypothesis on how cancer spreads.

Necessity as much as aesthetics drove Wilson Adams' interest in graphic design.

Marm B. Dixit, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is a recipient of a Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellowship in the Energy and Environmental Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. “The Weinberg fellowship is a highly competitive, prestigious early-career research opportunity that will enable Marm to create independent research paths, said Flowers Family Faculty...

Science moves forward when researchers verify their and others' results.

What will traffic look like if transit riders become car drivers? A new article, published online by the Work ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ Group at ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ, takes a hard look at transportation modes during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Piran Kidambi, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, is one of three recipients of an Electrochemical Society Toyota 2020-21 Young Investigator Fellowship awarded for projects in green energy technology. The fellowship is a partnership between the ECS and Toyota ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ Institute of North America, a division of Toyota Motor North America.

A new innovation incubator will amplify existing collaborations among researchers and soldiers, building on ²¤ÂÜÊÓƵ's partnership agreement with Army Futures Command.
