In a landmark study published in Cell Reports, scientists demonstrated that mouse cortical organoids (miniature, lab-grown ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

Computational simulation gives researchers the power to explore complex engineering problems that cannot be easily approached through theory and experiment alone. We are creating solutions using ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

Even if you don’t work in a science or technical field, you’ve likely heard of the engineering profession. There are dozens of types of engineers, with each type applying the concepts of math, science ...

Rural youth are uniquely attached to their communities and may be discouraged from pursuing engineering careers because of the misconception that they would have to leave their communities to do so.
