- - Autonomous systems innovators converge on Blacksburg
    Unmanned systems, such as driverless cars and drones, become more visible every day. But does the public trust the technology? That question and others will challenge leaders in the field of autonomous systems as they gather in Blacksburg for a conference Oct. 15 to 17.
- - Project Wing’s James Ryan Burgess to keynote autonomy conference
    Burgess co-leads the group whose drones delivered burritos on campus last fall. His keynote speech will explore how autonomous systems can earn the public's trust.
- - Stefan Duma named a Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society
    Duma is the first faculty member at Virginia Tech to receive this honor. His injury biomechanics research has led to safer equipment in the automotive industry, the military, and sports.
- - Landmark study suggests risks vary widely in drone-human impacts
    Virginia Tech’s world-renowned injury biomechanics group and its FAA-approved UAS test site have just released the first peer-reviewed academic study to offer quantitative data on injury risk associated with potential drone-human collisions.
- - Junior Faculty Awards fund research partnerships across campus
    The seed-funding program from the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science helps faculty pursue innovative, collaborative research.
- - Virginia Tech team develops novel 3-D printed high-performance polymer that could be used in space
    Virginia Tech researchers have created a novel way to 3-D print the type of high-temperature polymer materials commonly used to insulate space craft and satellites from extreme heat and cold.
- - For graduate students, months of hard work pay off at national symposium
    For the first time, a team from Virginia Tech hosted the Graduate Student Symposium at a national American Chemical Society meeting. The students worked together for more than a year to put together an ambitious program geared to the interests of graduate students.
- - Virginia Tech researchers win Alzheimer's research awards from Virginia General Assembly
    Three Virginia Tech researchers have each received money from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Alzheimer’s and Related Diseases Research Award Fund.
- - Summer program immerses local teachers in interdisciplinary water research
    The Research Experiences for Teachers program gave STEM teachers a crash course in university research. They'll weave what they learned into their own curricula to enrich their students’ experiences and spark interest in science.
- - New research could make dew droplets so small, they’re invisible
    By better understanding the behavior of water in its smallest form, a Virginia Tech professor and his undergraduate student could be improving the efficiency of removing condensation in a major way.
- - Arlington workshop will initiate dialogue on workforce development for veterans
    Representatives from industry, government, and academia will come together to explore the possibility of developing certification programs for high-demand fields where veterans could seek employment.
- - NSF supports disaster resilience graduate program at Virginia Tech
    The $3 million grant will significantly expand the existing interdisciplinary graduate education program in disaster resilience administered through the Virginia Tech Graduate School.
- - Virginia Tech researchers discover potentially harmful airborne nanoparticles produced through burning of coal
    Scientists have discovered that the burning of coal produces incredibly small particles of a highly unusual form of titanium oxide. These nanoparticles can be inhaled into the lungs and potentially the bloodstream, a finding that deepens the health-related consequences from one of the world’s largest energy production practices.
- - Biomedical engineering research points to a new strategy for glioblastoma treatment
    One promising treatment for this lethal form of brain cancer uses electric pulses to kill malignant cells. Researchers identified a compound that makes the technique even more effective.
- - Student visits China on NSF fellowship to explore neural processes of bat echolocation
    Joseph Sutlive, a Virginia Tech doctoral student in the translational biology, medicine, and health program, recently flew to Jinan to discover more about how bats interpret echoes to navigate through dark, cluttered environments — with capabilities that far surpass human-made sonar systems.
- - Physics researchers eye experimental box as key to tracking nuclear activity by rogue nations
    Researchers at the Virginia Tech College of Science have built an experimental neutrino detector that they say could lead to a turning point in how the United Nations tracks rogue nations that seek nuclear power.
- - Virginia Tech researchers study the relationship between the indoor environment and health
    The environment indoors exposes us to a complex mixture of chemicals, particles, and microbes that can have a significant impact on our health. An interdisciplinary team is working to untangle those influences.
- - Forget defrosting your car at a glacial pace: new research speeds process up tenfold
    Jonathan Boreyko, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics in the College of Engineering, knew there had to be a more efficient, quicker way to melt frost.
- - The blast or the projectile? Virginia Tech research illuminates fireworks-related injuries
    As the Fourth of July approaches, injury biomechanics expert Stefan Duma reflects on his research on fireworks safety, which clarified the way these festive displays can damage the eye.
- - Marc Edwards seminar for undergrad researchers will explore the prelude to Flint
    In a talk on June 30, Edwards will discuss the Washington, D.C., lead crisis that led to his role in investigating Flint's contaminated drinking water.
