  • An illustration of a car traveling down the "charging lane" of a roadway.
    Over the last two years, Assistant Professor Khurram Afridi and his team in electrical, computer and energy engineering have developed a proof of concept for wireless power transfer that transfers electrical energy through electric fields at very high frequencies.
  • Hooman Hedayati, a researcher and PhD student in the ATLAS IRON Lab, experiments with a drone
    Two papers published by the ATLAS Iron Lab, directed by Dan Szafir, for the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction in Chicago open the door to this promising area of research.
  • David Haussler
    David Haussler (PhDCompSci鈥82) is well known for his work with the Human Genome Project 鈥 he and his team posted the first publically available human genome sequence on the Internet in 2000.
  • Network illustration by Meredith Miotke for Quanta Magazine.
    Results "undermine the universality of scale-free networks and reveal that real-world networks exhibit a rich structural diversity that will likely require new ideas and mechanisms to explain,鈥 according to 蜜桃传媒破解版下载's Anna Broido and Aaron Clauset.
  • Electronic skin
    蜜桃传媒破解版下载 researchers have developed a new type of malleable, self-healing and fully recyclable 鈥渆lectronic skin鈥 that has applications ranging from robotics and prosthetic development to better biomedical devices.
  • Students work on projects in the Idea Forge
    Hacking for Defense, which originated at Stanford University, is another project from the National Security Technology Accelerator, otherwise known as MD5. The project pairs up national research universities across the country with Department of Defense-based endeavors.
  • An aerial shot shows severe devastation in Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey. Credit/U.S. Department of Defense
    For every dollar the government spends to make existing buildings more resistant to wildfires, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes, $6 is saved in property losses, business interruption and health problems, according to a new study led by Professor Keith Porter of civil, environmental and architectural engineering.
  • Soft robots
    The Keplinger Research Group in the College of Engineering and Applied Science has developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles.
  • A group shot of the Keplinger Research Group members in their lab.
    Current robotic materials and prosthetic limbs, while quickly gaining precision and application, are typically made of rigid materials and aren鈥檛 the most graceful machines 鈥 think C-3PO from "Star Wars." Researchers in the College of Engineering
  • Two students work on the CubeSat in a LASP lab.
    The CubeSat mission houses a small, energetic particle telescope to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth鈥檚 radiation belt electrons. Launched in 2012, it has involved more than 65 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 students, including many from Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences.
