Iain Boyd is thinking fast. Extremely fast. So fast that breaking the sound barrier is practically standing still. Welcome to the world of hypersonics, where the minimum speed is it least 3,836 mph, or five times the speed of sound. Boyd's work
Sanghamitra Neogi is part of a team seeking nothing less than a revolutionary leap forward in computing technology by making computers work more like the human brain. The National Science Foundation thinks they may be onto something and has awarded a two-year, $1.7 million "Ideas Lab" grant to further the research. Investigations into...

Luis Zea is investigating the possibility of mining metals from asteroids in space using an unlikely agent: bacteria. It may sound like science fiction, but so-called biomining is already a reality on Earth. Now, Zea, and his co-investigator Jesse
Jeff Forbes is working on a research project slated for the International Space Station (ISS) to help us better understand and forecast conditions on the edge of space. NASA is funding the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) to analyze gravity (or “buoyancy”) waves in a region of the upper atmosphere that can cause disruptions in...
The top researchers in the field of hypersonics have wrapped up a week-long conference highlighting the latest developments in the subject. The 2019 Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics Portfolios Review, sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific
