Roboticists have no idea how to manually design a robot as athletic and intelligent as even the simplest animals. We could take inspiration from the evolutionary design of animals. But we will need to ...
Northwestern University has launched an institutional network dedicated to the integration of data science and AI across all aspects of research and education. The Northwestern Network for ...
A student team from Northwestern Engineering’s Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences earned the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) Outstanding Capstone Senior ...
Flagging life-threatening conditions In addition to improving efficiency, the AI system flags life-threatening conditions like pneumothorax (collapsed lung) in real time — before a radiologist even ...
Speed and sustainability are key Traditional engineering methods often focus on designing materials first and then adapting them to meet performance needs, or the inverse — developing products with ...
A major challenge in metal 3D printing is controlling the microstructure, which determines a material’s mechanical properties. One key factor is the formation of dislocations: defects in the crystal ...
Northwestern University Trustee Kimberly K. Querrey (’22, ’23 P) has made a $10 million gift to create and enhance the Querrey Simpson Institute for Regenerative Engineering at Northwestern University ...
Led by Northwestern Engineering’s Cécile Chazot, the Materials Initiative for Comprehensive Research Opportunity (MICRO) allows undergraduates from universities without materials science programs or ...
Video: Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed what they believe is the world’s smallest pacemaker — so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe and be non-invasively injected into ...
The 2024 class of AAAS Fellows includes 471 scientists, engineers, and innovators spanning 24 scientific disciplines, recognized for their scientifically and socially distinguished achievements. “This ...
Using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO 2), Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new carbon-negative building material. As Earth’s climate continues to warm, researchers ...
Safer, cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable than current plastic recycling methods, the new technique offers a promising path toward creating a circular economy for plastics. The study was recently ...
