MEMS Professor Adrian Bejan has some advice on how to mathematically build the perfect bonfire. 

MEMS Professor Olivier Delaire is using neutrons to reveal remarkable atomic behavior in thermoelectric materials for more efficient conversion of heat into electricity.

MEMS Professor Ken Gall works with campus collaborators on a gel-based cartilage substitute to relieve achy knees that’s even stronger and more durable than the real thing.

MEMS Professor Boyuan Chen lead a project that created a robot that could learn, through practice, what its own form can do

MEMS Professor Adrian Bejan says the brain’s processing speed slows as we age – caused by the greater complexity of our neural networks that means signals travel greater distances.

MEMS Professor Matthew Becker and colleagues have found a way to use organic compounds derived from sugar to make a new family of eco-friendly polymers. 

MEMS Professor Nico Hotz offers insights into how hydrogen might become a part of the green energy needs of the future.

MEMS Professor Po-Chun Hsu produced prototype patches with miniature vented flaps. When applied to your clothing, the vents curl open to release heat if you get too hot and start producing sweat. 

MEMS Professor Adrian Bejan explains why he think it is that objects that adhere to the golden ratio are perceived as beautiful. 

MEMS Professor Po-Chun Hsu demonstrates a smart material that can passively heat and cool buildings.
