Creating an artificial material that can sense, adapt to its environment

Researchers have developed a metamaterial that can respond to its environment, independently make a decision, and perform an action not directed by a human being.

Clinical trial testing automatic oxygen control device for premature infants

Eric Stann / MU News Bureau The consequences are dire for the health of a premature baby — too much oxygen can cause blindness, and too little oxygen can cause brain damage and other negative health effects. Some premature babies need the help of life-saving machines in a neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, to…

Mizzou Engineering team discovers method to control sound waves in the fourth dimension

Using a type of material that conducts electricity on the edges while insulating the inside, a Mizzou Engineering team has discovered a way to control sound waves beyond…

Mizzou Engineers to return to G-FORCE ONE to study condensation in zero-gravity environment

A Mizzou Engineering team has received funding from NASA to conduct research around water condensation within a zero-gravity environment.

Student team devises way to control robotic arm using hand gestures

A Mizzou Engineering team has devised a way to control a robot just by moving your hands. What makes the work especially unique is that researchers only used one pair of electrodes on each of a person’s arms to send signals that moved a robotic arm, said Richard Byfield, a third-year PhD student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department.
