A new study by University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers shows solid-state batteries can offer real safety advantages over lithium-ion batteries but can still catch fire and burn in a worst-case accident scenario. “Our research shows that…

In the push to deploy clean fusion energy, several key engineering challenges remain. One of those challenges is designing viable “breeding blankets” for fusion energy systems. Breeding blankets sit just outside the first wall of…

Reflecting on his more than 20 years as a member of the teaching faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Eric Hoffman is grateful for the opportunity…

Nuclear engineers Paul Wilson and David Smith are among five University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers to each receive between $500,000 and $750,000 for nine-month projects under the Genesis Mission, a national effort aimed at leveraging AI…

Two projects led by University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering faculty have received annual State Economic Engagement & Development (SEED) funding. The SEED Research Program funds are designated by the state legislature and administered by…

University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have created a new model that sheds light on why reverse osmosis systems recover some forms of ammonia from wastewater more effectively than others. Mohan Qin, an assistant professor of civil…

Computer engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new automated dataset that can help pinpoint why facial recognition fails, helping developers improve the accuracy and reliability of these systems. Facial recognition systems are…

Through collaborations with organizations such as Sub-Zero Group, UW-Madison’s College of Engineering is helping ensure AI workforce education reflects real-world challenges, opportunities, and emerging workforce needs. Artificial intelligence is transforming engineering, manufacturing, and public-sector organizations….

While Yinsu Zhang is a self-described car guy, his choice of vehicle will almost certainly surprise you. When the recent University of Wisconsin-Madison PhD graduate hit the road to relocate to the San Francisco Bay…

The near future promises all sorts of exciting technologies, like autonomous vehicles, robot-powered remote surgery, and AI-driven manufacturing—yet these futuristic applications will rely on something stuck firmly in the past: network management. Anyone who’s had…
