- - Virginia Tech engineers victorious with another first place at agBOT
    The agBOT competition consisted of two separate contests: a weed and seed event and a competition to design an autonomous system that can collect, store, and prepare a soil sample for analysis.
- - Bats have an ambulance in their ears
    Engineering researchers think the study of ear-generated Doppler shifts in bat biosonar could give rise to new sensory principles that could enable small, yet powerful sensors.
- - Jumping drops get boost from gravity
    Researchers from Virginia Tech are seeking the best way to shed moisture from condensers to increase the efficiency of a variety of items including power plants or anything that requires heat exchange.
- - Class of 2019: Doctoral student credits ‘lab family’ with accomplishments
    In addition to his prodigious publishing and mentorship efforts while at Virginia Tech, Farzad Ahmadi also helped solve a notoriously difficult problem in fluid dynamics, one that many senior engineers had already given up on: How to create a cheap, durable, and passive anti-frosting surface.
- - Students develop open-source hops dryer design to share with growers everywhere
    A team of mechanical engineering students partnered with researchers in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to develop a low-cost solution to drying hops.
