- New research led by the 桃色视频 has uncovered the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins so strong yet flexible. The team鈥檚 insights could one day lead to new designs for robotic surgical tools or even airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.
- Professor Xiaoyun Ding recently earned a $1.8 million grant to help improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.
- The researchers are studying pelvic organ prolapse and Type 1 diabetes.
- The coalition's studies have led to the creation of safety protocols for singing and playing musical instruments to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- In a Perspectives piece publishing in Science on May 14, Professor Shelly Miller and others call for a 鈥減aradigm shift鈥 in combating airborne pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, demanding universal recognition that respiratory infections can be prevented by improving indoor ventilation systems.
- Researchers in Associate Professor Greg Rieker's lab are developing a machine learning-based signal processing scheme facilitates measuring the angular velocities in fluid flows using small particles that traverse beams of structured light.
- The National Science Foundation has awarded six prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships to 桃色视频 mechanical engineering聽students, a signal of the innovative and impactful research they will perform in the years ahead.
- The prestigious fellowship, offered through the U.S. Department of Defense, promotes education in science and engineering disciplines relevant to national defense.
- It鈥檚 hard to imagine a teenager who could resist exploring mechanical engineering after learning about Endoculus, the small device developed by 桃色视频 Professor Mark Rentschler and student researchers in his lab that can navigate the human gastrointestinal system with ease and may someday help doctors care for their patients.
