An interdepartmental team of Johns Hopkins engineers has received a $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to build and program tiny, soft robots. The robots are expected to respond…

If you can get tiny particles to self-assemble into crystal structures, there’s no end to the products you can create: cosmetics, petroleum products, and solar panels, for example. ChemBE major Zachary Schmidt, a junior, explores this process in the lab.

A cell’s properties—the way it moves, its shape, its texture, and its stiffness—have an enormous impact on human development, the immune response, and the progression of cancer. But researchers studying those cell mechanics often wind up with different results from their colleagues’, leading to confusion and delaying potential breakthroughs in cancer treatment and immunotherapy.

Using a technique called micropatterning, scientists discover cellular tension and pressure are key factors in stem cell growth and behavior.

If you built the largest, most powerful computer currently feasible, it would have about the same number of transistors as there are synapses in the brain of a 3-year-old child.…

They will work to produce a commercially viable exhaust-gas catalyst system that kicks in as soon as an engine is started.

Research by Rebecca Schulman and David Gracias on using DNA to trigger hydrogels to change shape is featured in “Clinical Implications of Basic Research” in the New England Journal of…

As fourth-year PhD candidate Michael Manto was completing his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering at Lehigh University, Johns Hopkins was not on his PhD radar because he mistakenly believed the…

In the field of cancer treatment, what if a “cure” is the wrong goal? What if, asks fourth-year PhD candidate Daniel Lewis, we focused instead on controlling the disease in…

Antibodies—antigen-binding proteins widely used as therapeutics and as research tools—represent a huge field in biological research. Second-year master’s student Xiyao Long is among those best versed in one very particular…

The MARCC's 22,000 processors save researchers money they would otherwise spend building their own computing centers.
