A Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ student multitasks by simultaneously using her desktop computer, laptop computer, smartphone and headphones.

The phenomenon of multitasking across three or four internet-connected devices simultaneously is increasingly common. Andrew Lepp, Ph.D., Jacob Barkley, Ph.D., and Aryn Karpinski, Ph.D., of Â鶹¾«Ñ¡â€™s College of Education, Health and Human Services were curious to know how often this happens during online education.

City rats are unlikely to be on anyone's list of favorite animals, but researching exactly how they are problematic for public health provided a unique opportunity this past summer for Gracen Gerbig, Â鶹¾«Ñ¡junior majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology.

Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ researchers Elda and Torsten Hegmann pose with one of the sensors they created that detects toxic gases. The sensors can be made any shape or size and require no power to function.

Thanks to a rare Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ researchers in the new Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute will be able to work with partners at Merck Performance Materials to advance life-saving sensory technology.

Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Robotics Team Places Receives Third Place Award in NASA Robotics Mining Competition

From November 2017 to the day of the competition in May, the Â鶹¾«Ñ¡Robotics team spent months preparing for the competition held at the Kennedy Space Center. The competition is designed to mimic the procedure of having a robot on Mars if sent there by NASA. Along with 44 other university teams, the team worked together to design and construct a robot that is fashioned to mine simulated Martian terrain along with the gravel below it.
