Ģ����Ƶ engineers have successfully developed and validated the feasibility of blockchain-based technologies for secure, confidential sharing of patient medical records in a case study that demonstrates how blockchain could solve a huge healthcare challenge.

Justus Ndukaife, who won the 2017 Chorafas Foundation Prize in Physics for his nanotweezers work, also recently was selected for the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program. Read More

The device is from the lab of Professor Michael Goldfarb, perhaps best known for working on a bionic leg with shark attack victim Craig Hutto and later developing the Indego exoskeleton. Read More

Nabil Simaan’s Advanced Robotics and Mechanism Applications Laboratory at Ģ����Ƶ leads the way in advancing several robotics technologies for medical use, including miniature robots for single small-incision, cochlear implant and minimally invasive throat surgeries.

Engineer Dan Work says his promising research shows adding autonomous vehicles to roadways could end the stop-and-go traffic that drives commuters insane. Read More

Combining a natural dye from blackberries with photosynthetic proteins extracted from spinach leaves increases the voltage of biohybrid solar cells by a factor of 20.

New composite materials make wind energy even greener by making the turbines themselves recyclable. Read More

Duvall conducts research on advanced drug delivery systems designed for regenerative medicine applications, such as tissue engineering, wound healing, vascular bypass grafts and protection of tissue from degenerative diseases.

Falling is no joke when you're a senior citizen or have other balance issues. Ģ����Ƶ engineers are working on a 'smart cane' that could help physical therapists spot and treat problems sooner. Read More

A fundamental advance in the quality of an optical material used to make hyperlenses makes it possible to see features on the surface of living cells in greater detail than ever before. Read More

Ģ����Ƶ scientists have teamed up with the Italian Scientific Police to apply nanoscience techniques to improve the accuracy of forensic investigations. Read More

Sinead Miller was headed for the Olympic games. Now, thanks to a Department of Defense grant to find new sepsis treatments, the Ģ����Ƶ Ph.D. has developed a device that cleans the blood. Read More

Collaboration between a mechanical engineer at Ģ����Ƶ and a pulmonologist at Ģ����Ƶ Medical Center (VUMC) has resulted in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grant that will be used to develop a steerable robotic needle to safely biopsy hard-to-reach lung nodules. Read More

New project aims to build social norms, policies and values into the basic architecture of the Internet of Things. Read More

Smarter zoning, better hazard maps and more stormwater management are among the key recommendations Ģ����Ƶ environmental engineer Mark Abkowitz has for coping with extreme weather. Read More

A high-altitude weather balloon rose yesterday from a Ģ����Ƶ garage rooftop to the edge of space to live-stream the eclipse from above Nashville and record the temporary atmospheric changes it caused.

A new energy harvesting system developed at Ģ����Ƶ can generate electrical current from the full range of human motions and is thin enough to embed in clothing. Read More

The liver is a particularly squishy, slippery organ, prone to shifting both deadly tumors and life-preserving blood vessels by inches between the time they’re discovered on a CT scan and when the patient is lying on an operating room table. Ģ����Ƶ’s Michael Miga and his team have published the potential solution. Read More

Leon Bellan made a dissolving circuit board that, so far, just turns on an LED light. Its potential applications are far more promising. Read More

Ģ����Ƶ engineers have designed a “granular jamming cap” filled with coffee grounds that can improve the accuracy of the sophisticated “GPS” system that surgeons use for nose and throat surgery. Read More
