Launching a NASA-Funded Space Research and Additive Manufacturing Educational Initiative

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are embarking on a groundbreaking NASA-funded project to develop advanced manufacturing processes for space exploration.

This initiative aims to enhance space-age technologies and bolster representation among minority engineers in the high-tech space industry.

Environmental Micro- and Nanoplastics: Behavior, Fate, and (Maybe) a Better Model

This event sponsored by FAMU-FSU Engineering Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering.

Abstract: The prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in natural waters is driven by the large amount of plastic production and significant release of plastic waste (either intended or unintended) into the environment. Once in aquatic environments, MNP behavior will depend on the many complex surface interactions with other components in the water column.

Nation’s First ‘Neutron Nexus’ Launched with ORNL

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, or FAMU, and Florida State University, or FSU, through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

The first program of its kind nationwide aims to broaden and diversify the scientific user community by reaching out to universities and colleges to increase collaboration and, ultimately, scientific advancement. 

Scientists Aim to Develop Safe, Reliable and Affordable Battery for Power Grids

Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are collaborating with top universities, including Stanford and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, to tackle one of the energy sector’s biggest challenges: storing electricity for the grid safely, reliably and at a low cost.

As part of the Aqueous Battery Consortium, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), these scientists are working to overcome the limitations of batteries that use water as an electrolyte.
