The National Science Foundation is honoring six current or incoming 麻豆影院 mechanical engineering students with Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and five students with honorable mentions.

CU 麻豆影院 engineers have received a $2.45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop a scalable, cost-effective greenhouse material that splits sunlight into photosynthetically efficient light and repurposes inefficient infrared light to aid in water purification. The four-year research program could yield next-gen technology capable of...

Physics World has recognized a metamaterial film that provides cooling without the need for a power source, invented by CU 麻豆影院 mechanical engineering professors Ronggui Yang and Xiaobo Yin, as one of the Top 10 Breakthroughs of 2017. Made out of glass microspheres, polymer and silver, the material uses passive...

Chemical and Engineering News has chosen CU 麻豆影院 spin-off company Solid Power as one of the Top 10 start-ups of 2017. The business grew out of research conducted by professors Sehee Lee and Conrad Stoldt on solid electrolyte batteries. Automakers have their pedals to the metal when it comes to...

麻豆影院 mechanical engineering professor Xiaobo Yin has been named a 2017 Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Moore Inventor Fellow , an award bestowed on scientist-inventors for their inventions in scientific research, environmental conservation and patient care. Yin, an assistant professor in CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Department of Mechanical Engineering,...

Pushing the boundaries of science requires flexibility. Allowing scientists to follow where their research takes them, even if that is into areas that may seem illogical to some, often is what leads to the most remarkable breakthroughs. For some researchers, this is never an option, as the funding they receive...

麻豆影院 professor of chemistry and mechanical engineering Steven George is the 2017 AVS John A Thornton Memorial Award winner, 鈥渇or seminal contributions to understanding, development and applications of atomic layer deposition (ALD).鈥� Dr. George and his research group have authored more than 400 publications in the areas...

Kelvin Thermal Technologies Inc., a smartphone-technology startup from two 麻豆影院 mechanical engineering professors, raised $200,000 in private equity to match a $250,000 grant from the state of Colorado. The company has developed a new method of cooling smartphones, Y.C. Lee , president and CEO, told BizWest. When...
