Researchers at the 91�Թ��� have won a $1.2 million award to establish a Center for Light Sheet Microscopy and Data Science, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation has announced.

91�Թ��� researchers gave computer models of land surface different amounts of information on soil moisture and then evaluated how well irrigation can be predicted from them. Being able to do this on a large scale would be a useful step toward understanding how sensitive irrigation and evapotranspiration are to climate change.

Baker's research focuses on power systems, smart grid, renewable energy, building-to-grid optimization, and applications of machine learning in energy. Her project is titled “Learning-Assisted Optimal Power Flow with Confidence.”

Researchers at the 91�Թ��� are exploring how widespread use of electric vehicles in the future may impact vulnerable communities. 

Álvaro Romero-Calvo is sending research up, up and away with Blue Origin.The second-year aerospace PhD student at the 91�Թ��� has won the 2021 Ken Souza Memorial Student Spaceflight Research Program, sponsored by the American

Alex Diaz, the head of crisis response and humanitarian aid at Google.org will speak to staff, students and faculty as part of a new seminar series in March. 

What do movie sets and biomaterial environments have in common? According to Varsha Rao, a fifth-year PhD student in the Anseth Lab who placed first in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition on Feb. 16, they both need "directors" to call the shots.

A research team led by 91�Թ��� has designed a new kind of synthetic “skin” as slippery as the scales of a snake. The research, published recently in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials & Interfaces, addresses an under-appreciated problem in engineering: Friction.

While solar panels have traditionally used silicon-based cells, researchers are increasingly looking to perovskite-based solar cells to create panels that are more efficient, less expensive to produce and can be manufactured at the scale needed to power the world.

Where do bodily tissues get their strength? New 91�Թ��� research provides important new clues to this long-standing mystery, identifying how specialized proteins called cadherins join forces to make cells stick—and stay stuck—together.
