A group of 10 University of Wisconsin-Madison civil and environmental engineering graduate students is monitoring the structural health of a 150-year-old Superior lighthouse. With Jesse Hampton, an assistant professor of…
Ranjana Mehta had just finished presenting her work on occupational fatigue at a conference when a first responder approached her with a somewhat startling request: Could the neuroergonomics researcher look…
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have developed a promising technique for treating osteoarthritis using therapeutic blood clots activated by messenger RNA. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting roughly…
Using innovative semiconductor fabrication techniques, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison electrical engineers has developed a new type of device that can convert heat directly into electricity. The innovation—a near-field…
While there’s an industry trend toward electric vehicles, there are many mobility sectors—aviation, heavy-duty trucking, rail, off-road machinery, and marine, for example—that will continue to rely on internal combustion engines…
Researchers use an innovative set of machine-learning models to discover a record-breaking material for film capacitors, key components in many energy technologies. Key Takeaways The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley…
Look at a solar farm, and it might be easy to see only row upon row of glossy panels. But there’s much more than meets the eye. Steven Loheide, a…
A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison biomedical engineers has developed a thin, patterned, silicon-based component that excels at trapping non-visible light and could open up low-cost manufacturing possibilities for biochemical…
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have found a way to simultaneously mitigate three types of defects in parts produced using a prominent additive manufacturing technique called laser powder bed fusion. Led…
An interdisciplinary, multi-institutional research initiative led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison will be the first program in the world to comprehensively investigate how pulsed microwaves might injure the brain. PANTHER,…
