Nation’s First ‘Neutron Nexus’ Launched with ORNL

Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, or FAMU, and Florida State University, or FSU, through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

The first program of its kind nationwide aims to broaden and diversify the scientific user community by reaching out to universities and colleges to increase collaboration and, ultimately, scientific advancement. 

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Emerges as a Quantum Research and Education Hub

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is poised to become a leader in quantum research and scientific discovery.

With two professors each securing a $5 million grant through Florida A&M University, the college is setting the stage for groundbreaking advancements in the quantum realm. What’s more, the agency awarded only five Track II grants nationwide to institutions (at the $5 million level), and the joint college secured two of those.

HAND Engineering Research Center Kickoff

We are excited to introduce the Human Augmentation via Dexterity (HAND) Engineering Research Center, a groundbreaking initiative sponsored by the National Science Foundation and involving researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. HAND aims to revolutionize the ability of robots to augment human labor by transforming dexterous robot hands into versatile, easy-to-integrate tools.
