For Auburn’s Center for Bioenergy and Bioproducts (CBB), things are coming up roses… and ryegrass.
Mismanaged micro- and nano-plastics can threaten the health and environment.
Stormwater runoff from urbanized areas flows directly into streams, creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans, carrying excessive pollutants including nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
More than 40,000 patients across the nation could die each year as a result of misdiagnoses — with 37.8 percent of those related to cancer, a British Medical Journal study revealed. A diagnosis, followed by treatment, for one cancer subtype might not be suitable for another.
Rapid advancements in the semiconductor industry have enabled the broad adoption of electronics into multiple sectors of society, including commercial, industrial and defense spaces, often improving quality of life while increasing business efficiency. That’s the good news.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is turning to Peter Liu, assistant professor of industrial and systems engineering, in the form of a $500,000 CAREER Award meant to generate new insight into defect formation relevant to fatigue performance of parts manufactured through laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) and uncover the synergistic impacts of multi-scale factors on fatigue fractures.
The National Science Foundation awarded Konstantin Klyukin, assistant professor of materials engineering, $1.2 million through its Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future program, which funds research into “novel materials to address grand societal challenges.”
If you’re trying to gauge Auburn’s preeminence in harsh environment electronics resiliency development and flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) research, look no further than the latest project call of the NextFlex National Manufacturing Institute.
Vrishank Raghav, associate professor of aerospace engineering, is part of a three-year, $600,000 Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR) grant to better understand how bio-inspired surface texturing of aircraft wings can ensure smooth flight.
