Ranging across the CoE, CAS, MED School, and beyond.
For decades, scientists believed all plastics shared one unavoidable weakness: no matter how dense or strong, gases could always slip through. Even the toughest polymers, from bulletproof Kevlar to everyday food packaging, may look solid, but at the molecular level, tiny gas molecules can still sneak through. That’s why potato chips go stale and packaged […]

Alcohol rewired my brain from within — so I retrained it to crave connection
In a new study from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and BU’s College of Engineering, researchers used a special microscope called birefringence microscopy (BRM) paired with an automated deep learning algorithm to reliably count and map myelin damage across whole sections of the brain—something not feasible with other techniques. The ability to […]
PhD Student Savannah Schisler measures sustainable thermodynamics through a mechanical lens. by Jack Osmond Savannah Schisler’s path to pursuing her PhD in Mechanical Engineering was far from traditional. She grew up on a farm in Littlestown, Pennsylvania, an experience which nurtured an early interest in sustainability and a desire to understand the fundamentals of the […]
Swan Study Unlocks the Key to Room-Temperature Superfluorescence
Hariri Faculty Keith Brown (ENG) Leads the Next Evolution of Self-Driving Labs
Professor Mary Dunlop (BME) was recently the recipient of two awards, one from NIH and one from NSF. The NIH R01 grant, titled "Cell-to-cell heterogeneity and the emergence of antibiotic resistance," focuses on the initial steps in the emergence of antibiotic resistance, looking at how intrinsic tolerance mechanisms may provide a window of protection that […]
