Nebraska Engineering researcher Nirupam Aich is adding his expertise to a federally funded project that aims to create the first “field-ready” process that both detects and monitors “forever chemicals” in water sources. Aich’s research – focused on the use of nanomaterials to degrade and remove PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) – will be one of the key […]

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln aims to better gauge the environmental impact of the ranching industry with a new $5 million grant.

Teams of mountaineering mice are helping advance understanding into how evolutionary adaptation to localized conditions can enable a single species to thrive across diverse environments.

Husker engineer Eric Markvicka is developing a new approach for detecting acute exacerbations of chronic conditions.

With support from the National Institutes of Health, Markvicka is leading a project aimed at developing a wearable monitoring device that contains multiple types of sensors, enabling faster and more accurate detection of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic conditions like asthma, heart disease and other inflammatory disorders. Eventually, the technology may help everyday people monitor their overall health and attune to early warning signs of illness.

A record nine Husker researchers earned National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program awards in 2024, placing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln among the nation’s most successful institutions in earning awards through one of the most prestigious grant programs for rising scholars.

A Husker researcher is leading a project to reimagine brain-computer interface communication for children with severe disabilities who struggle to use existing assistive devices, which often require the user to touch a screen or look at words.
