Nuclear research and energy leaders from the U.S. Department of Energy, national labs nationwide, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, partner institutions and industry leaders have descended on MU.
The 4th Annual International Field-Reversible Thermal Connector [RevCon] Challenge, sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA], was held Oct. 23 at the Reynolds Journalism Institute and Lafferre Hall on the campus of the University of Missouri.
The French Alps Nuclear Science and Technology program is a collaboration of the College of Engineering, the MU Research Reactor [MURR], and the College of Arts & Science Physics Department. The goal of showcasing the many applications of nuclear science matched the International Atomic Energy Agency’s “Peaceful Uses Initiative.”
Seven teams of graduate and undergraduate students demonstrated field-reversible thermal connectors designed for the demanding world of high-power military electronics at the 2014 International Field-Reversible Thermal Connector Challenge.
On Oct. 31, seven university teams will demonstrate the prototypes of the thermal connectors they’ve designed to judges at the University of Missouri College of Engineering, the hosting agency for the 2014 and 2015 International Field-Reversible Thermal Connector (RevCon) Challenge.
With support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the MU College of Engineering will host the 2014 International Field-Reversible Thermal Connector (RevCon) Challenge led by Professors C. L. Chen and Gary Solbrekken in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Two engineering students are among 18 University of Missouri students named to the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. Paulos Mengsteab, a senior mechanical engineering student, and Sital Uprety, a junior civil and environmental engineering student, are part of the 2012-13 group, which also includes students majoring in nursing, psychology, forestry, music performance among others.

Two University of Missouri mechanical and aerospace engineering graduate students traveled to the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) in May to compete in the RevCon Challenge and walked away with the competition’s “Most Creative” prize. Co-sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the challenge […]
According to the World Nuclear Association, approximately 90 percent of nuclear medicine procedures conducted worldwide are diagnostic in nature and fully 30 million of them utilize the radioisotope technetium-99m (Tc-99m). More than half of these procedures occur in the United States, and for nearly a decade, there has been an international effort to ensure that […]
