Kim, assistant professor of metallurgical and materials engineering, won the award as part of a multi-university team working on electrodeposition of nickel, cobalt
Dr. Nikki Farnsworth, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering, will use biomaterials to mimic the environment of the pancreas and study insulin secretion from pancreatic islets in both health and Type 1 diabetes.
The findings, recently published in the journal Science, address one of the key durability challenges of the advanced solar cells, known for their high potential for significant power conversion efficiencies.
If a tool breaks in space, the solution isn’t as easy as popping down to the hardware store to buy a new one. Mines researchers are conducting NASA-funded research that could lead to 3-D printing bioplastics in space for tool repairs and more.
“The Mines ethos of use-inspired research and innovation is a significant part of what draws world-class faculty, students, and industry and government partners to Mines,” President Paul C. Johnson said.
With funding from the Charles Pankow Foundation and the U.S. Forest Service, Shiling Pei and his team have begun a FEMA P695 study on the mass timber rocking wall lateral system, the first step toward submitting a proposal for an official update to the ASCE-7.
Anne Silverman, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Mines, is one of five co-principal investigators for the new institute dedicated to improving our understanding of muscle mechanics and control.
Annalise Maughan, assistant professor of chemistry at Colorado School of Mines, has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for her work to discover materials for use in solid-state batteries.
