The University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Tickle College of Engineering is part of a groundbreaking statewide initiative to introduce nuclear energy concepts to students in kindergarten through second grade.

Approximately 1 in 6 individuals or couples face difficulties conceiving naturally, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO)'s statistics. On the other hand, assisted fertility cycles with the support of genetic testing improve implantation and pregnancy rates by as much as 70%. Precision medicine, which integrates preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) into in vitro fertilization (IVF) offers the ultimate solution.

Timothy Allerton, PhD, is an assistant professor of vascular metabolism at Pennington Biomedical Research Center. He is a licensed clinical exercise physiologist. During his postdoctoral fellowship, also at Pennington Biomedical, Dr. Allerton developed a strong interest in the link between vascular function and metabolism. In May, several research data posters, presentations, and publications were evaluated by Pennington Biomedical faculty, with Dr. Allerton’s publication “Exercise Therapy Rescues Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction and Exercise Intolerance in Cardiometabolic HFpEF” selected as the Publication of the Year among those produced by peers and colleagues. 

Eric Nauman’s lab looks like the kind of place where engineering problems are unravelled and solved. Students work on novel biomedical and sports-related projects in every corner of the University of Cincinnati’s Human Injury Research and Regenerative Technologies Lab.

Construction scientists and engineers are learning lessons in space that can be applied for better construction here on the home planet.

Robotics experts gathered at Texas A&M University for the 22nd International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots to share groundbreaking research on robots in our everyday world.
