Devesh Ranjan, a mechanical engineer and a leader at one of the country’s largest and highest-ranked engineering programs, will be the tenth dean of the College of Engineering at the…
A team of researchers across several universities has developed a new, efficient technique for peeling ultra-thin crystalline electronic membranes away from their substrates—an advance that opens the door to wide-ranging…
An aggressive push to advance fusion from university experiments into energy for the real world. A new group aims to tap experts in the Midwest and beyond to capture the…
By combining topology optimization and additive manufacturing, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers created a twisty high-temperature heat exchanger that outperformed a traditional straight channel design in heat transfer,…
If we envision a future in which humanoid or animal-inspired robots work at construction sites or safeguard older adults, then we’ll need to develop energy storage systems that will allow…
Over the past 40 years, additive manufacturing techniques have opened up new possibilities in manufacturing by enabling the fabrication of highly complex parts. An emerging technology called volumetric 3D printing…
Found in everything from kitchen appliances to sustainable energy infrastructure, stainless steels are used extensively due to their excellent corrosion (rusting) resistance. They’re important material in many industries, including manufacturing,…
Alastair Big Luna (PhDME ’25) speaks deliberately and calmly, even though he’s unsure what the next chapter of his life will bring. As a father of three who moved across…
A cell in a crucial heart valve leaflet feels a disruptive stretch, so it produces more of the structural protein collagen—and in extreme cases even produces calcium—to ease its physical…
A team of chemical and biological engineering researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed a new strain of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, which takes up 8.5 times…
Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, powering everything from cellphones and laptops to electric vehicles. They’re also notorious for overheating or catching fire. Now, with a groundbreaking computational model, a University…
