Don’t let the term “moon dust” fool you.Jagged and sharp as broken glass, the debris churned up when a spacecraft descends can damage vital equipment. A student team is working to characterize those “plume surface” interactions to aid NASA’s quest in pushing the boundaries of space ecploration.
When it comes to everyday objects, engineers often have an uncommon fascination with the way things are designed and the reasons behind their utility. To get a glimpse into this unique way of thinking, we polled a variety of Johns Hopkins engineers and asked them to share their insights on a favorite object of their choosing. Their answers may surprise you.
Threats to cybersecurity loom large in today’s world, putting us all at risk of being exploited by bad actors. Whiting School experts are focused on spotting cyber vulnerabilities and defending against them–a never-ending task, where the villains’ tactics are evolving just as rapidly as the technology they exploit.
