- - Virginia Tech researchers develop novel process to 3D print one of the strongest materials on Earth
    Because of its strength - graphene is one of the strongest materials ever tested on Earth - and its high thermal and electricity conductivity, 3D printed graphene objects would be highly coveted in certain industries, including batteries, aerospace, separation, heat management, sensors, and catalysis.
- - Through partnership with local rescue squad, Virginia Tech students develop lifesaving device
    The device, called the Emergency Lift Assist, operates by safely and quickly rolling a patient onto a tarp. Once strapped in, a hydraulically powered set of frames lifts the patient with just the push of a button.
- - New approach to super slippery packaging aims to cut down on food waste
    Not only will the technique help sticky foods release from their packaging much more easily, but for the first time, it can also be applied to inexpensive and readily available plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. These hydrocarbon-based polymers make up 55 percent of the total demand for plastics in the world today.
- - Virginia Tech graduate student pursues innovative microbe-based cancer therapy
    Katherine Broadway, a Virginia Tech graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences, is researching a cutting-edge, microbe-based cancer therapy as her dissertation project.
- - Virginia Tech receives Department of Defense instrumentation awards
    The awards will enable the university to support research and education in autonomous underwater vehicle, submarine, and ship hydrodynamics.
- - Engineering students take lifesaving concept to market with help from university environment and donors
    Starting a company as a student is no easy feat. But Virginia Tech’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and financial support from investors like Ray Zinn are emboldening students to start building their empires early.
- - FutureHAUS Dubai takes shape at Virginia Tech’s Research + Demonstration Facility
    Led by the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, students from five Virginia Tech colleges will compete as the only U.S. collegiate team in the Solar Decathlon Middle East in Dubai, November 2018. The team now has three months to complete the world’s smartest modular solar home – a prototype they hope will become a global model for housing sustainability.
- - Virginia Tech agBOT autonomous watermelon harvester takes top prize
