Quantum signals are extremely fragile and can be overwhelmed by the intense optical noise generated by conventional internet traffic, requiring costly dedicated infrastructure for quantum networks.

Laser additive manufacturing can produce advanced parts, but the resulting metal microstructures are unpredictable for complex alloys, limiting reliability for critical applications. Metal 3D printing ...

Lyle F. Mockros (’56, MS ’58), professor emeritus of biomedical engineering and chemical engineering, passed away at the age of 92 on May 6, 2026. He was known for his contributions to the field of ...

The Northwestern facility will be the nation’s first open automated lab for designing, building, and testing proteins.

Conventional AI continuously analyzes incoming data even when nothing has changed, wasting energy on unnecessary computation. Researchers developed a cerebellum-inspired memtransistor that ignores ...

Since graduating from Northwestern, Aaron W. Saak (MS '97, PhD '00) has spent his career in industrial technology companies, moving from roles in engineering to business leadership. Along the way, he ...

Malachi Cohen’s inspiration to enroll at Northwestern Engineering came from a marathon in Germany. There, in 2018, world-record time was achieved by the winner who wore specially designed shoes that ...

Existing models of structural alloys largely rely on simplified systems that limit predictions of how chemistry controls processing of advanced metallic alloys. This makes it possible to design ...
