Research
Groundbreaking microprocessor chip uses light, rather than electricity, to transfer data at rapid speeds while consuming minute amounts of energy. The researchers also anticipate that the new technology can be integrated into current manufacturing processes smoothly and scaled up for commercial production with minimal disruption.
Shrinky Dinks used to recreate shape memory polymer research being done on the nano scale in Professor Bob McLeod's lab.
Jae-Woong Jeong constructs optofluidic implant that could make drug therapies more targeted with fewer side effects.
When she started getting requests to take on health care-related projects, Zoya Popovic was a little surprised. While she hadn’t pursued funding in that field, she said the projects caught her attention from a technical standpoint.
Afridi and his team have less than a year to build a power inverter that is at least 10 times smaller than the current picnic cooler-sized inverters commonly used in photovoltaic solar power systems and other green energy applications.
Moddel was issued a patent in August for geometric diode, applications and method, a technology that lays the foundation for high-efficiency, low-cost photovoltaic cells.
ECEE Assistant Professor Juliet Gopinath and her research team have received a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a fiber-optic imaging instrument that will complete deep-brain imaging using a miniature nonlinear microscope.
Based on early-stage trials, Won Park's targeted nanotechnology-based approach to fighting cancer could be a breakthrough treatment.
The research team, led by ECEE Assistant Professor Milos Popovic, developed a new technique that allows microprocessors to use light, instead of electrical wires, to communicate with transistors on a single chip.
As many as 20 paintings, or about 15 percent of those recently X-rayed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, were found to have hidden paintings beneath them, according to ECEE Assistant Professor Shannon Hughes.
