Bell has been selected to be a part of the National Academy of Engineering’s US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium that will be taking place at Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT) this September. The 2-1/2 day symposium will feature “100 outstanding early career […]
Engineers working on Amazon’s Prime Air system, which promises to deliver goods via drones, have some competition at the Whiting School. Hopkins Delivers is a team of eight undergraduate and graduate engineering students who are developing a system that can shuttle food—from the Bamboo Café’s donburi to tuna melts from Café Azafran—to hungry customers across the […]
Next-generation materials for solar cells are cheap, flexible, and transparent, attributes that give them potential for creating films to coat windows or buildings. Although these films are highly efficient at converting sunlight into electrical power at small scales in the lab, defects that accumulate at large scales prevent them from being used for practical power […]
In May 2016, a driver was killed when a car, operating on autopilot, failed to slow when a tractor-trailer crossed into its lane. Further investigation looked into the role of the car’s camera: It may not have been able to detect the white truck against the backdrop of a bright sky. Looking for ways to alleviate […]
