Colby Milligan was still trying to sort out his summer plans when an email in his inbox caught his eye. The mechanical engineering major read the message, which advertised an…
While pursuing his master’s degree in aerospace mechanics and avionics at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse, France, Prateek Jaiswal encountered aeroacoustics, a field in which researchers study noise generation via either turbulent…
Collagen is the most prevalent protein in the human body, keeping our joints healthy, our bones strong and our skin stretchy. However, studies increasingly show that collagen in the extracellular…
A doctor repairs a patient’s knee cartilage and bone using a 3D-printing process, driven by ultrasound, that occurs inside the patient’s body. And the procedure is minimally invasive. Xiao Kuang…
Wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness bands that count a person’s steps are ubiquitous today. Using a similar type of wearable sensor, University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have developed a new…
A historic $75 million gift will fuel construction of a much-needed new engineering building at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. With their lead gift—the largest single gift in college history—brothers and…
The human body’s circulatory system pumps oxygen and glucose to trillions of cells, providing them with essential energy and nutrients. Inspired by the body’s example, a team led by James…
Desalination can help provide much-needed freshwater to communities lacking access, but the process can be difficult at scale. Now, scientists have discovered one of the reasons behind that difficulty. Roughly…
To enable electric vehicles with greater range and electrified aviation, we need batteries with increased energy density that are safer and can last longer. Weiyu Li is leveraging her expertise…
