Department of Mechanical Engineering

Before we turn the calendar to December, here’s a look back at some images captured in November across the University.

Faculty members work with industry advisors to modernize hands-on aspects of the department’s curriculum.

October brought fall in all its splendor to the University of Rochester. Take a brief look back at some favorite images from the past month.

The seemingly physics-defying properties of quasiparticles could be harnessed for applications ranging from non-destructive imaging to computer-chip manufacturing.

Rochester scientists will develop machine learning to help predict, design, and improve laser-fusion implosions for inertial fusion energy.

Dynamic shell formation has been demonstrated experimentally for the first time at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics.

A new, AI-based technique for measuring fluid flow in the brain could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

University of Rochester scientists set out to explain how—and how much—in order to improve future experiments.

A popular science fiction idea in TV shows like Amazon’s The Expanse, Rochester scientists are using physics and engineering principles to show how asteroids could be future viable space habitats.

First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation.
