Engineering Researchers Take Robotic Touch to a New Level with Novel Haptics
What if you could have a virtual doctor’s appointment from your living room—and they could feel the bump on your knee from thousands of miles away? With new research at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Northwestern University, this might happen sooner than you think.
FAMU-FSU Professor will Study Superfluid Helium with $1.25M Grant from Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
When the temperature of matter approaches absolute zero, a different type of physics takes over. Instead of classical physics — the physics you learned about in high school — quantum physics governs its behavior.
For example, helium is typically a gas, but when an isotope of helium is cooled to very low temperatures, it becomes a quantum liquid called superfluid helium. Quantum liquids behave in unusual ways, appearing to climb up a gradient or forming thin vortex tubes around which the superfluid flows without friction.

Noontime Research Nuggets
Dean De is hosting a new luncheon research presentation series called Noontime Research Nuggets.
For Mikayla Schuller, It's All a Matter of Balance
Mikayla Schuller returned to Tallahassee this fall after a better-than-usual summer between semesters.
Schuller, one of only a few Feature Twirlers at Florida State University, took fourth place in the junior women’s short program and freestyle category in the World Baton Twirling Federation World Championship (WBTF). The sophomore mechanical engineering student at Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering takes the success—and the work—in stride.
