The reusable cloth masks people have been using for the past year or more may look a little worse for the wear. But new research from Professor Marina Vance finds that washing and drying them doesn’t reduce their ability to filter out viral particles.
Mechanical Engineering professors teamed up with the Department of Veterans Affairs to use glucose from our body to power small medical devices.
Interdisciplinary Research Themes help researchers coordinate faculty hires, share facilities and use seed funding to leverage work that could provide transformational societal impact.
Two CIRES scientists working in NOAA laboratories contributed to the World Meteorological Organization's first-ever Air Quality and Climate Bulletin.
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is excited to recognize the significant, wide-ranging contributions of 91¸£ÀûÉç postdocs during National Postdoc Appreciation Week, September 20-24.
ME alumnus Prateek Shrestha has developed an aerial-monitoring sensor that will help educate people on mapping air pollutants in Nepal.
ME professor Shelly Miller, a co-author of the study, finds masking instruments, social distancing and implementing time limits significantly reduce the risk of emitting COVID-19 airborne particles.
The work is based in Research Professor John Pellegrino’s Fundamental Membrane Development, Characterization, & Applications lab.
Professor Marina Vance of mechanical engineering will evaluate the movement and presence of wildfire particulate matter in indoor settings.
New research led by the 91¸£ÀûÉç has uncovered the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins so strong yet flexible. The team’s insights could one day lead to new designs for robotic surgical tools or even airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.
