The research can help unlock answers around how cells assemble themselves during embryonic development and what happens when this fundamental process goes awry.
Using a brain-computer interface, a clinical trial participant who lost the ability to speak was able to create text on a computer at rates that approach the speed of regular speech just by thinking of saying the words.
A team of Brown-led engineers show that a sphere held almost completely under flowing water induces drag forces several times greater than if it were fully submerged, detailing new and interesting physics of drag resistance.
SBUDNIC, built by an academically diverse team of students, was confirmed to have successfully reentered Earth’s atmosphere in August, demonstrating a practical, low-cost method to cut down on space debris.
A new in-depth analysis of sea ice motion in the fastest-warming part of the globe shows how Arctic Ocean sea ice responds to different ocean currents and reveals that the seafloor plays a crucial role.
More than 225 undergraduates gathered in Sayles Hall on August 3 and 4 to present the results of their research at the annual Summer Research Symposium sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the College.
Inside Brown’s Prince Laboratory, the engineering Ph.D. student is delving deeper into his passion for flight and working to solve one of the biggest challenges of drone aerodynamics.
The Brown Design Workshop is the University’s go-to makerspace where its members can use the vast array of tools and machines to create almost anything they dream up.
Developed by a team of Brown-led researchers, Pleobot is a krill-inspired robot offering potential solutions for underwater locomotion and ocean exploration, both on Earth and moons throughout the solar system.
At the end of her first academic year as dean, Tejal Desai reflects on what she learned and describes how Brown’s School of Engineering is building on distinctive strengths to advance its academic enterprise.
Kiara Lee will graduate with a doctoral degree in Biomedical Engineering and a master’s degree in Global Public health, which she earned through the Open Graduate Education Program. Her dissertation, Leveraging Biotransport Mechanisms in the Design of Technologies to Improve Access to Blood-Based Diagnostics, was selected for the Joukowsky Prize in the life sciences.
A new imaging technique opens a path toward long-term study of blood vessels in aging brains and could help predict neurodegenerative diseases decades before symptoms begin.
Two teams from Brown were among 28 selected this year through DEPSCoR, which is designed to strengthen basic research infrastructure at higher education institutions and propel forward science in areas important to U.S. defense.
Fluid mechanics researchers from Brown University and the University of Toulouse found that surfactants give the celebratory drink its stable and signature straight rise of bubbles.
The 13 signatories, including Brown’s Christina H. Paxson and Tejal Desai, call on universities to help meet the U.S. Commerce Secretary’s semiconductor workforce goals by preparing more women, people of color to enter the field.
A team of Brown University researchers created a solution to a nanoscale resolution challenge that has for decades limited the study of materials that could lead to more energy efficient semiconductors and electronics.
Professor Jimmy Xu will study and teach in France next year as a Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair as part of an effort to reinforce collaborative research between the United States and France.
