An ambitious project to build a complete, 3D computer model of how nuclear power reactors operate and degrade is only halfway through its first five years, but already the new software is tackling real-world problems.|Medium Read

The award will support Berry's doctoral research in the area of plasmonic photoconductive antennas for high power terahertz generation.|Short Read

David is interested in controlling the energy that flows through the nation's grid system, particularly in optimizing the flow by minimizing distance and costs.|Short Read

A new power scheme for cardiac pacemakers turns to an unlikely source: vibrations from heartbeats themselves.|Medium Read

Roberts is helping to develop low-power sensor nodes that will be worn on the body to detect certain medical conditions.|Short Read

Michigan Engineering researchers can “pressure-cook” algae for as little as a minute and transform an unprecedented 65 percent of the green slime into biocrude.|Medium Read

The research addressed voltage scaling of processors at the point where, at very low voltages, voltage leakage begins to dominate the computational power consumption.|Short Read

In order to make these gains, airplane designers have improved two important factors: the structure, which must be strong yet lightweight, and the shape, which must create lift while generating as little drag as possible|Medium Read

Congratulations to the two student teams!|Short Read

The sensor network addressed in the paper assesses the operating conditions of a power plant. It is intended to measure process variables and assess plant status.|Short Read

Researchers have found a way to improve a computer's human-tracking accuracy by looking at where the targets are going, but also at what they're doing.|Short Read

PicoSpray, a compact fuel injection system designed for small engines such as those in motorcycles and mopeds, could cut emissions in half while being up to 70 percent cheaper than existing technologies.|Medium Read
