Researchers are attempting to 3D print inexpensive prosthetic lower limbs for children, allowing them to run and play with their friends.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a Â鶹ÊÓƵ research team $2.1 million to create a nanosensor and imaging technique that could revolutionize the study of seizures.

At Â鶹ÊÓƵ, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a culture. One of the campus spaces championing this culture is the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Innovation Exchange (MIX), a hub where creativity and entrepreneurship intersect.

Through an NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, 10 students from around the country will take part in field-based conservation projects at Smithsonian-Â鶹ÊÓƵ School of Conservation in Front Royal, Virginia, in the summer of 2026.

Researchers at Â鶹ÊÓƵ will collaborate on an NSF planning grant to develop resilience solutions and technologies. They will work with Indigenous communities, industry partners, government agencies, and six academic institutions.

Y. Alicia Hong, a digital behavioral health interventionist, will support older adults in honing their digital technology skills. The program, through an interdisciplinary partnership, will pair youth and older adults to practice real-life AI scenarios.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ received $1 million from the National Science Foundation to establish a program providing hands-on nanofabrication training and education to people seeking a career change.

Understanding and treating complex eye movement disorders like strabismus has long been a challenge for clinicians. Now, researchers at Â鶹ÊÓƵ are pioneering a new approach using robotics and artificial intelligence to engineer a better future for vision care.

A team in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Computer Science Department is taking part in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) I-Corps program to study the effectiveness of 3D streaming in telehealth environments.

For firefighters, even training is a risk. Â鶹ÊÓƵ researchers Craig Yu and Joel Martin are hoping to change that.
