Kang has written a focus article about the fabrication of and potential applications for an electrically-controlled shape-memory microactuator that operates in a solution matching the ion concentration of the human body.

Using DNA as a scaffold, engineers create synthetic nanomaterial that could pave the way for rapid and more accurate diagnostic testing from a single molecule.

Mechanical engineer Charles Meneveau co-organized a mini-symposium on Wind Energy Fluid Mechanics at the 73rd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics, where researchers described the promise and fluid dynamics challenges of wind energy.

Inspired by the famed Drake equation, the Contagion Airborne Transmission (CAT) inequality seeks to make sense of the many variables, including environmental ones, that can affect transmissibility of COVID-19.

In a paper published in Science, Johns Hopkins University researchers detail a new method for testing metals at a microscopic scale that allows them to rapidly inflict repetitive loads on materials while recording how ensuing damage evolves into cracks.

Wang and a multi-disciplinary team of researchers were awarded $3 million by the National Institutes of Health to develop a diagnostic device for self-testing HIV viral load.

A new robotic system designed by researchers from Johns Hopkins University’s Laboratory for Computational Sensing & Robotics may help hospitals preserve protective gear, limit staff exposure to COVID-19, and provide more time for clinical work.

When completed, the system will test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in as few as 10 minutes and can be performed in healthcare facilities or the workplace.

Grants from the NIH-funded Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Engineering Research Career Development Program (IREK12) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) will support Brown’s research on haptic perception in robotic applications.

Study led by Ryan Hurley reveals how and why granular materials respond to wave force, paving the way for a new understanding of how to design materials and technologies.

By chasing cockroaches through an obstacle course and studying their movements, the Johns Hopkins engineers discovered that animals' movement transitions corresponded to overcoming potential energy barriers and that they can jitter around to traverse obstacles in complex terrain.

In the March issue of Biomaterials, Johns Hopkins researchers share promising findings on the underlying mechanisms by which breast cancer cells turn healthy cells into CAFs during early stages of breast cancer.
