As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, the University of Florida Training Reactor is emerging as a cornerstone for nuclear education, research and outreach. With growing support for nuclear energy driven by multiple federal initiatives, the Department of Energy… Read More
Tori Miller has a Vision for Space-Based Fabrication In 1969, space was much less complicated. Only a few nations had launched satellites into orbit, and the race for dominance was between just two — the United States and the Soviet… Read More
In the internet age, the landscape of human-generated data has undergone a remarkable transformation. From the early days of website creation to the current era of cloud storage, social media, big data, and artificial intelligence, the collective output of information… Read More
As the world grapples with the need for carbon-free power generation, advanced reactor designs are crucial to the transition. A Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP)-funded investigation into the behavior of U-Zr annular fuel will not only… Read More
Josephine Allen, Ph.D., associate professor and Genzyme Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) R21 Award to better understand the native behaviors of cells in the human body. Dr. Allen seeks to develop… Read More
Light Water Reactors (LWRs) are the most widely used type of nuclear reactor in the world. However, as alternative designs continue to emerge and gain traction, they may represent the future of clean power generation. One of those designs, the… Read More
What if airplanes could morph and dynamically change shape during flight, similar to birds? It may sound too good to be true. Still, engineers at the University of Florida Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) are working toward a… Read More
Department of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) undergraduates Colton Ginter and Akash Ram each received a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship. Ginter began his undergraduate education at The State College of Florida (SCF) and transferred to… Read More
