The Rice Electric Vehicle Team recently met with Eric Ernst, the head of technology for auto racing series Formula E, to discuss the team's progress toward competing in the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in April.
Magnet-controlled bioelectronic implant could relieve pain
A Rice electrical and computer engineer has introduced the first neural implant that can be programmed and charged remotely with a magnetic field.
Mikos receives Controlled Release Society’s 2020 Founders Award
Antonios Mikos, the Louis Calder Professor of Bioengineering and of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has received the 2020 Founders Award of the Controlled Release Society
Feds back Rice computer scientist’s security strategy
Ang Chen, an assistant professor of computer science at Rice University, is clearly poised for success. The National Science Foundation agrees.
Rice duo named to National Academy of Engineers
Dean and incoming provost Reginald DesRoches, electrical and computer engineer Gene Frantz earn prestigious honor.
Rice fluids researcher earns solid federal support
Rice University engineer Jesse Chan wins a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award to develop reliable simulations of fluid flow.
Rice lab turns trash into valuable graphene in a flash
Scientists at Rice University are using high-energy pulses of electricity to turn any source of carbon into turbostratic graphene in an instant. The process promises environmental benefits by turning waste into valuable graphene that can then strengthen concrete and other composite materials.
Less may be more in next-gen batteries
Rice University engineers build full lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes and an alumina layer to protect cathodes from degrading. By limiting their energy density, the batteries promise excellent stability for transportation and grid storage use.
Cameras see around corners in real time with deep learning
Rice researchers and collaborators have created an imaging system that can see detailed objects around corners in real time.
Rice engineers find a way to turn water pollution into valuable chemicals
Rice University researchers have identified a simpler way to rid water of cancer-causing pollutants and turn them into valuable chemicals.
Not so fast: Some batteries can be pushed too far
Fast charge and discharge of some lithium-ion batteries with intentional defects degrades their performance and endurance, according to Rice University engineers.
Rice University engineers have created a light-powered nanoparticle that could shrink the carbon footprint of syngas producers.
