University of Utah engineers designed microscopic mechanical devices that withstand intense radiation and heat, so they can be used in circuits for robots and computers exposed to radiation in space, damaged nuclear power plants or nuclear attack.
Read MoreUniversity of Utah physicists developed an inexpensive, highly accurate magnetic field sensor for scientific and possibly consumer uses based on a “spintronic” organic thin-film semiconductor that basically is “plastic paint.”
Read MoreThis summer, the University of Utah’s highly ranked Entertainment Arts and Engineering program is not just for U students.
Read MoreA University of Utah study found that when a virgin male moth gets a whiff of female sex attractant, he’s quicker to start shivering to warm up his flight muscles, and then takes off prematurely when he’s still too cool for powerful flight.

Read MoreHow many college graduate thesis projects and term papers become available commercially? It would be safe to say few, if any. This might apply to video game projects created by students as well.
Read MoreMiriah Meyer, a computer scientist at the University of Utah, has been selected as one of seven Microsoft Research Faculty Fellows for 2012.
Read MoreThe University of Utah is calling it “speed teching” (pronounced teck-ing) – and it’s a lot like speed dating.
Read MoreMore than 60 U.S. colleges and universities have created centers to promote science and math education, but there has been no organization to unite them. So on May 20-22, the University of Utah will take a leadership role by hosting the First National Conference for Centers of Science and Mathematics Education.
Read MoreIf the world’s nations ever sign a treaty to limit emissions of climate-warming carbon dioxide gas, there may be a way to help verify compliance: a new method developed by scientists from the University of Utah and Harvard.
