The latest episode of Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast features researchers who have come up with new ways of looking at — and improving — things that have been around for a long time.
An autonomous robot capable of seeking out, capturing, and killing the virus that causes COVID-19 is being developed and built by a multi-institutional team of students and researchers from across the nation – including a group of engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
The 2020 Don Shohfi Memorial Outstanding Doctoral Paper Award was recently presented to Joonhyuk Bok, a doctoral student in the Lally School of Management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Why Not Change the World? The RPI Podcast kicks off its fourth season with an episode focused on promising research projects aimed at stopping SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, from spreading and infecting humans.
About 13 years after it was first published, a book co-authored by Nancy Campbell, the head of the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, exploring a complex chapter in the nation’s history of drug addiction and treatment will be republished on March 16, 2021.
The latest board game from Maurice Suckling, an assistant professor in the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is among the most anticipated war board games of 2021, according to a leading board game website.
Jude Abu Zaineh, an electronic arts doctoral student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was offered a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) doctoral fellowship for her research project, “Home Is Where the Maqlouba Is: Understanding Palestinian diaspora through art, food, and technology.”
In research recently published in Nature Physics, a team led by Sufei Shi, an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, demonstrated surprising and promising properties in heterobilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), created by stacking monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) on top of one another, with precise control. TMD materials have been eyed for their atomically thin semiconductor properties.
