An efficient ammonia fuel reformer for the decarbonization of heavy industry was the winner of the first-ever Mines Global Energy Future Initiative Innov8x Challenge.

An interdisciplinary team of Mines faculty and students is working to develop strategies to implement 3-D printing faster and more efficiently within the U.S. Army’s ground vehicle fleet.

The global student design competition addresses a topic of increasing practical concern as humans move toward a sustainable presence on the Moon’s surface — how to move lunar soil, or regolith.

Jeff Ackerman, teaching associate professor of mechanical engineering, and colleagues at Purdue University won $1 million for the EASI RIDER – Efficient, Accessible and Safe Interaction in a Real Integrated Design Environment for Riders with disabilities.

"ASPECT will lay the groundwork for the surface construction and mining on other worlds," says Christopher Dreyer, professor in Mines' Space Resources Graduate Program.

Four Mines professors will teach, conduct research and carry out professional projects around the world over the coming year after being selected as Fulbright Scholars.

A new frontier in lunar technology will be on display June 2-3 in a parking lot on the edge of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.
