Engineering a Future With Purpose
For Roxanne Ehrig, the classroom and the track may seem like two different worlds, but each has taught her something about the other. The discipline required to balance structural engineering coursework with cross country and track & field has helped Ehrig develop a routine that allows her to su...
This Thin Device Can Store Energy, Strengthen Structures and Be Recycled
Engineers developed a new type of supercapacitor that can do more than store electricity — it can also provide structural support and be quickly disassembled into reusable parts. It could offer a more sustainable approach to energy storage for lightweight electric vehicles.

Researchers Use a Physical Device to Take Over Electronics in a Boeing 737
Physical access to an aircraft has not typically been considered a cybersecurity risk – but it should be, according to a team of computer scientists at the University of California San Diego. In a paper presented Aug. 13 at the USENIX Security Symposium in Baltimore, Md, former UC San Diego Ph...
Corn Stalks. It’s What’s for Dinner … If You’re a Microbe.
Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida is interesting in its own right, a new paper published in Nature...
