The research is aimed at understanding how insulators behave when exposed to high electric fields. "If you want to design materials that are tolerant to enormous electric fields, you must first understand how they fail," says the lead engineering professor.

Seven faculty members have received highly competitive early career awards from the National Science Foundation to support their research. Two more were recognized by the Office of Naval Research.

A UConn startup could make the process of testing blood much more efficient with a handheld device that can give results in a matter of moments.

A new company, created by a pair of UConn graduate students, is developing an innovative technique using sensors to monitor the performance of bridges.

A UConn researcher has developed a new shape memory material that can help send unmanned probes to distant star systems.

Veteran and current UConn student Thomas Underwood explains why he turned to the School of Engineering after six years of service.

The center will share computer modeling facilities and expertise with small and medium-sized Connecticut manufacturers, and work with the community colleges to create a workforce pipeline.

STEM teachers from secondary schools and community colleges worked on research projects at UConn this summer, an experience that they will take back to their classes.

The state's bridges will benefit from a new repair method developed at UConn using ultra-high performance concrete.

The University will play a leading role in Connecticut as part of a national effort to boost smart manufacturing and extend its benefits to business.
