CLEVELAND—For nearly half a century, scientists have been trying to replace precious metal catalysts in fuel cells. Now, for the first time, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have shown that an inexpensive metal-free catalyst performs as well as costly metal catalysts at speeding the oxygen reduction reaction in an acidic fuel cell. The carbon-based […]
Solving medical problems is extremely challenging. By bringing experts from multiple disciplines together to work at the interface of those disciplines, researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) are introducing creative new ways to address medical problems. In this video, Jeffrey Karp, PhD, Director of the Laboratory for Accelerated Medical Innovation, discusses how his research […]
University of Toronto biomedical engineering professor Molly Shoichet (ChemE, IBBME) has been named the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science North American laureate for 2015. Already the only person ever elected to all three of Canada’s science academies, Shoichet is the innovative mind behind breakthroughs ranging from ‘space suits’ for fragile stem cells to polymer-based ‘vehicles’ that could […]
Distinguished Professor Sangtae Kim was elected Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE). This prestigious recognition is the AICHE’s highest grade of membership and was bestowed upon Kim for his significant professional accomplishment in chemical engineering.

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has received $4 million in funding from the Mann Fund to develop a next-generation retinal prosthesis system. The Mann Fund was created by philanthropist Alfred E. Mann 15 years ago to support the development of biomedical technologies. This work will be conducted in close collaboration with Second Sight […]
It’s 1989. Five years after earning his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Robert Malkin is designing cardiac pacemakers in Switzerland. It’s an important job, and he’s developing deep expertise and earning good money. But he’s unhappy. Very unhappy. “I decided I didn’t want to be an engineer,” he says. “Actually, I didn’t want to work […]
Why does this talk matter now? What impact do you hope the talk will have? Solving medical problems is very challenging; we often encounter barriers that seem insurmountable. Instead of relying on our limited intellect and narrow thinking, there is opportunity for us to turn to nature for inspiration. Every living thing has overcome an […]
