FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professors Jonathan Clark and Christian Hubicki recently received the 2022 University Innovation Award from L3Harris Technologies. The researchers study robotic locomotion at the Center for Intelligent Systems, Control and Robotics (CISCOR) at the college.

Florida A&M University (FAMU) and the Florida Center of Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) have been awarded $1,200,000 by the Army Research Office (ARO). The award will expand the high-speed research capability at the facility and recruit more African American students to pursue careers in aerospace engineering. 

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.

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.
