¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ researchers are exploring the use of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-based energy storage.While sodium is abundant and could help address supply chain issues linked to lithium scarcity, current sodium-ion batteries have
Go to the doctor to provide a blood sample and you’re typically faced with a needle and syringe and hours or even days of waiting to get results back from a lab.¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ researchers hope to change that with a new handheld, sound-based diagnostic
Anthony Straub is making major advances in water purification technology for industry and human consumption on Earth and in space, with his work on a nanotechnology membrane process taking a major step toward commercialization, thanks to a new NASA
Batteries lose capacity over time, which is why older cellphones run out of power more quickly. This common phenomenon, however, is not completely understood. Now, an international team of researchers, led by an engineer at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ,
Professor Hendrik Heinz and his ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ team, along with collaborators from University of California, Los Angeles, achieved a breakthrough that could boost clean energy production. The research was featured on the cover of the journal “
In the quest to develop life-like materials to replace and repair human body parts, scientists face a formidable challenge: Real tissues are often both strong and stretchable and vary in shape and size. A ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ-led team, in collaboration with

¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ's Materials Science and Engineering Program received a $1M grant to fund doctoral research training in biofabrication, a field that enables precise and effective ways to study and treat medical conditions, such as growing new organs or repairing damaged tissues.
Wyatt Shields has been honored with a 2024 Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar award for his contributions to teaching and research on medical microrobots, self-propelled miniature robots that one day might deliver prescription drugs to hard-to-reach
Imagine a day when joints could heal themselves. At the first inkling of a creaky knee, patients could get a single shot in the joint that would not only stop their cartilage and bone from eroding, but kick start its regrowth. In more advanced
