For the second time in four months, engineers at Brown convene a group of scholars and experts to examine achievable home-based technologies for the next decade.
A new material developed at Brown University can respond to the presence of bacterial enzymes by releasing a cargo of therapeutic nanoparticles, which could prove particularly helpful in wound dressings.
Brown Engineering has named North Carolina State professor Christine Grant ’84 and University of California, Berkeley professor Lisa Pruitt Sc.M. ’90, Ph.D. ’93 as its 2022 Brown Engineering Alumni Medal (BEAM) winners. The presentation of the BEAM medals took place at the annual engineering awards dinner held over Commencement and Reunion weekend.
Scholars from Rice and Brown universities say that next-generation wireless networks that use the technology could be designed with built-in defenses against the ‘metasurface-in-the-middle’ attack.
A self-propelled robotic swimmer, developed by Brown University students and faculty, could help researchers better understand the complex swimming behaviors of bacteria and other microorganisms.
Pulse oximeters often provide inaccurate readings for people with darker skin, a significant health disparity that physics Ph.D. student Rutendo Jakachira is working to eliminate.
With a massive shift under way toward more home-based health care delivery, more than 90 medical professionals and technologists gathered virtually to explore the challenges and opportunities that change presents.
Thirty-two Brown researchers, including six from the School of Engineering, are receiving University research awards through 21 Research Seed grants, totaling $1M.
A new 3D connective tissue model gives researchers a sophisticated tool to understand the underlying mechanisms of connective tissue disorders and test potential treatments.
Tejal Desai, a professor and researcher who has led academic programs at the University of California San Francisco, Boston University and elsewhere, will work to expand collaborative engineering research and teaching.
