Better Training for the Brain: A Surgical Simulator that Sparks Learning
Surgery can be a life-or-death procedure. With the stakes so high, practice is crucial. Simulators allow surgeons to gain experience before working with patients.
Students count on the small team of superheroes to support their capstone projects. For many, those projects represent the highlight of their college careers.
Researchers from FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, led by Professor Wei Guo, have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in studying how vortices move in these quantum fluids.
Yuan Tang, a postdoctoral researcher working with Wei Guo, an associate professor in mechanical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University, received the prestigious Peter Kapitza Award from the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR).
These hypothetical elementary particles may be responsible for some or all dark matter in the universe, so there is strong support in the physics community to find one, but it’s not easy because their energy inputs are so minuscule.
