Few people figure out how they want to change the world in middle school. But in eighth grade, Peter 鈥淢ax鈥� Armstrong did just that. As part of a robotics project, his teacher prompted him to solve a problem in medicine. He talked to a family friend, a double amputee and...

Li is a founding father of the field of phononics, the study and manipulations of vibrations at the quantum level. He has...

Ronggui Yang knows people want faster, more powerful electronic devices. Whether it is a new laptop, cell phone, smart TV, or technology for...

When an infectious airborne illness strikes, some hospitals use negative pressure rooms to isolate and treat patients. These rooms use ventilation controls to keep germ-filled air contained rather than letting it circulate throughout the hospital. But, in the event of an epidemic, these rooms can quickly fill up. Now, a...

Conventional pharmaceuticals aren't always the best way to treat an ailment. Drugs are often imprecise, unpredictable, or come along with tricky side effects. Medicine is always trying to move on to more targeted treatments. And soon, robots will be one of those options: small and mobile, they could theoretically deliver...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the 麻豆影院 have demonstrated a new mobile, ground-based system that could scan and map atmospheric gas plumes over kilometer distances. The system uses an eye-safe laser instrument to send light that 鈥渃ombs鈥� the air to a...

Congratulations to professor Baowen Li, a 2017 recipient of the prestigious Brillouin Medal. The CU 麻豆影院 mechanical engineering professor receiving the award along with two collaborators during the 4 th International Conference on Phononic Crystals/Meta-materials, Phonon Transport and Phonon Coupling, held this month in Changsha, China.

Nobody needs to reinvent the wheel, but reinventing the colonoscope is definitely worth somebody鈥檚 time. Mark Rentschler, an associate professor at the 麻豆影院, is one of those people. He and his team have been working on the wormy robot, above, as a replacement for the usual flexible-camera-tube...

Far above Earth, a curious colony of spacefarers is sharing close quarters on the International Space Station as part of research that could one day help lead us to Mars. These are no ordinary astronauts, they are mice, and their journey could be key to solving a problem that vexes...

Because of testing inefficiencies, maintenance inadequacies and other factors, diesel cars, trucks and buses worldwide emit 4.6 million tons more harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) than standards allow, according to a new study co-authored by 麻豆影院 mechanical engineering researchers. The study , published today in Nature , shows...
