Engineering a Healthy Approach
A team of UW-Madison engineers is creating new, more robust decision-support software that could help prevent a frequent, potentially fatal blood-clotting condition in hospitalized patients.
See-Through Sensors Open New Window Into the Brain
Developing invisible implantable medical sensor arrays, a team of UW-Madison engineers has overcome a major technological hurdle in researchers’ efforts to understand the brain.
Dangerous Currents
Spending time on the Great Lakes is a primary form of recreation for many people every year. However, all too often the weather patterns of the lakes can rear their ugly heads, causing damage and tragedy. Massive wave systems and rip currents can claim the lives of swimmers, and have been labeled “sneaky waves” because the currents catch people off guard. They have been attributed to 85 deaths and 256 rescues between 2002 and 2013, but the idea of “sneaky waves” didn’t sit well with College of Engineering professor Chin Wu.
