Making the structure of ‘fire ice’ with nanoparticles
The structure harnesses a strange physical phenomenon and could enable engineers to manipulate light in new ways.
-
James O. Wilkes fund supports working Chemical Engineering undergraduates
The named scholarship allows students to minimize work hours outside of full-time courses, making a significant difference in the lives of students paying their way through school.
-
Using nano-helical polymers to improve optoelectronic chips
Findings will be useful in next-generation optoelectronics, polarization imaging and cryptographic communication.
-
Putting concrete’s floatation abilities to the test
Chemical Engineering students help the Michigan Concrete Canoe Team place third overall at regionals.
-
AI could run a million microbial experiments per year
Automation uncovers combinations of amino acids that feed two bacterial species and could tell us much more about the 90% of bacteria that humans have hardly studied.

$3.8M grant supports protein engineering technologies that improve brain delivery of neuroprotective antibodies for treating Alzheimer’s disease
The research will involve developing and optimizing bifunctional antibodies, which target one molecule at the blood-brain barrier for transport into the brain and a second molecule in the brain to mediate neuroprotective function.
