According to reports, DARPA has awarded Jung-Tsung Shen, associate professor in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering, with a two-year $1 million grant to construct what ...

Instead of worrying about the generation of radioactive pollution from the heating of isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) to many millions of degrees to get a reaction similar to the nuclear ...

Researchers demonstrated a new type of optical manipulation: using laser light to pull a macroscopic object. The technology has potential for applications in the continued explorations of Mars.
