SEAS in the News

An article on the website of the National Science Foundation reports on new research by Thomas Grant, research assistant professor in UB's Department of Structural Biology and Department of Materials Design and Innovation, and Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, that will dramatically improve how scientists “see inside” molecular structures in solution, allowing for much more precise ways to image data in various fields, from astronomy to drug discovery.

A story on WIVB-TV reports on Neurovascular Diagnostics, a local company founded by Hui Meng, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Vincent Tutino, a PhD student in biomedical engineering, based in the UB Biosciences Incubator in Buffalo, that is developing a low-cost blood test for detecting unruptured brain aneurysms.

An article on Photonics Online reports on new research by Thomas Grant, research assistant professor in UB's Department of Structural Biology and Department of Materials Design and Innovation, and Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, that will dramatically improve how scientists “see inside” molecular structures in solution, allowing for much more precise ways to image data in various fields, from astronomy to drug discovery.

An article in Business First reports an autonomous electric bus called Olli is coming to the UB North Campus in the spring, where it will be overseen by Adel Sadek, director of UB’s Stephen Still Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics, and Chunming Qiao, chair of computer science and engineering, both in the UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

An article on Science News for Students, a publication of the Society for Science & the Public, features Vader Systems, which worked with UB engineers to develop a liquid metal 3-D printing machine that employs magnetic fields to squeeze liquid metal into drops of precise sizes that are squirted onto a surface and then harden to build a solid metal object.

An article on Engineering.com reports on research by Qiaoqiang Gan, associate professor of electrical engineering, that suggests electronic devices could be powered by a small metallic tab that would generate electricity through bending a finger or other simple movements.
