It’s not unusual for highly advanced research labs to open across the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. But on Aug. 5, 2025, a host of researchers, administrators and industry representatives gathered in the Engineering Centers Building…
The strangest physics on Earth is about to transform life as we know it. These days, you don’t have to look far to find the term “quantum”: Marketers have slapped the word on dishwasher pods,…
Expanding a consortium that strengthens ties between the college and the steel industry. Commercializing chip-cooling tech. Designing an economical nuclear microreactor. Through funding and in-kind support, Wisconsin Impact Nexus grants are igniting a ripple effect,…
Only the nerdiest among us take our first steps into Disneyland or Universal Studios and exclaim, “What a feat of engineering!” But maybe more of us should. Theme parks (or “themed entertainment,” for those in…
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have developed a new technology that can read a person’s pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation—remotely. Unlike other remote biometric sensors, this new “hyperspectral imaging” technology can operate in real-world, ambient-light…
Susan Hagness, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). The Philip Dunham Reed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Maria Stuchly…
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected Robert Jacobberger, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, to receive a 2025 DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program award….
University of Wisconsin-Madison electrical engineers have dramatically improved a semiconductor-based imaging system that makes near-infrared light visible to the naked eye. Near-infrared is the band of electromagnetic radiation between roughly 750 and 1,400 nanometers; it…
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has included a University of Wisconsin-Madison electrical engineer in its 2025 class of fellows—the highest distinction designed to recognize academic inventors’ accomplishments in patents, licensing and commercialization. Daniel Ludois,…
Many internet users understand how to avoid digital pitfalls like catfishing, password hacking and malware. But not all the dangers in the digital world are so straightforward: For example, just browsing the web may set…
Redundancy is one of the core concepts in aviation engineering. Commercial aircraft are designed with multiple backup systems for hydraulics, electronics, flight controls, navigation, and fuel supply. The result is ultra-high reliability for engines and…
