Steffi Diem, a University of Wisconsin–Madison assistant professor of nuclear engineering and engineering physics, has been selected to serve as a U.S. Science Envoy for the Department of State in…
Students in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics (NEEP) can take advantage of many opportunities beyond the classroom to enrich their learning, such as participating in undergraduate research,…
Juliana Duarte is an assistant professor of nuclear engineering and engineering physics. Her research focuses on thermal hydraulics, which concerns heat transfer through fluids within nuclear reactors. Duarte also studies…
University of Wisconsin-Madison and Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) leaders have signed task agreements that will strengthen collaboration and cooperation between the two institutions to advance science and…
While studying materials science at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, Charles Hirst had an a-ha moment that led him on a path to investigating nuclear materials for…
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 University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering is a partner in a major new project led by Dairyland Power Cooperative that will create good-paying jobs, significantly reduce emissions and lower…
A fusion device at the University of Wisconsin–Madison generated plasma for the first time Monday, opening a door to making the highly anticipated, carbon-free energy source a reality. Over the…
In magnetic confinement fusion devices, an unruly plasma is a big obstacle to harnessing fusion as a clean energy source. This turbulence in the plasma, which isn’t fully understood, causes…
The myotendinous junction is a key connective point in the human body, where skeletal muscle meets tendon. When muscles contract, the junction transmits the force to tendons, facilitating movement. As…
A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers has developed a new technique that allows them, for the first time, to see how materials corrode directly within a high-temperature flowing molten…
