Engineering customizable bio-adhesives for personalized medical repair
Researchers working with Fuzhong Zhang at the McKelvey School of Engineering have genetically engineered a protein-based bio-adhesive with programmable material properties.
Condensates’ composition determined by when RNA is added
Collaborative research from Rohit Pappu’s laboratory at the McKelvey School of Engineering, published in Nature Communications, shows that timing matters when it comes to the order of how different RNA molecules are added to condensates.
2D material reshapes 3D electronics for AI hardware
Sang-Hoon Bae at the McKelvey School of Engineering and collaborators have demonstrated integrated processing hardware they say could revolutionize artificial intelligence computing.
Improving autonomous driving
Nathan Jacobs at the McKelvey School of Engineering led a team that developed a joint learning framework to enhance two closely related computer vision tasks critical in autonomous driving applications.
Flying smart
A love of logistics and learning about the world leads Michael Holtz, BS ’87, to create a new kind of luxury travel company.
The sky’s the limit
Mark Waggoner, BSCE ’97, designs stadium roofs that shield tens of thousands of sports fans from the elements and can withstand Mother Nature’s fury.
An old illustration animates a new story
‘After years and years …,’ a forgotten Christmas card from the late 1940s reveals the early genius of an Emmy Award–winning alumnus and his admiration for Mother Baird, a fraternity housemother.
Defending your voice against deepfakes
Computer scientists led by Ning Zhang at the McKelvey School of Engineering developed AntiFake, a tool to protect voice recordings from unauthorized speech synthesis.
Mapping soundscapes everywhere
Nathan Jacobs at the McKelvey School of Engineering developed a new framework for predicting the types of sounds that are likely to be heard at a given geographic location. Soundscape mapping has applications in urban planning and noise management, as well as in individual decisions about where to buy a home or establish a business.
RNA’s solo act on the ever-changing stage of cellular dynamics
Collaborative research from Rohit Pappu’s laboratory at the McKelvey School of Engineering sheds light on the role of temperature in RNA phase separation, particularly the heating and cooling required to form condensates.
