The next generation of superconducting magnets are getting more powerful every day and have the potential to revolutionize our world. The magic behind these goliath superstars may lie in the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires that power them.

New qubit breakthrough could transform quantum computing

You are no doubt viewing this article on a digital device whose basic unit of information is the bit, either 0 or 1. Scientists worldwide are racing to develop a new kind of computer based on the use of quantum bits, or qubits, which can simultaneously be 0 and 1 and could one day solve complex problems beyond any classical supercomputers.

Tech giant Apple is awarding millions in grants to HBCUs in a new partnership program with colleges and universities to develop the talent of outstanding students attending a Historically Black College or University (HBCU). Three FAMU-FSU Engineering undergraduate students are among the latest recipients of the scholarship award program initiative launched in June 2020. 

The Apple Scholars Engineering and Innovation Scholarship Award is part of a new program established by Apple in partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund for HBCU students.

If you’d told her she’d be overseeing a team of NASA engineers for projects like combustion stability on rocket engines, alumna Melissa Van Dyke would not have believed you. Currently Deputy Manager of the Flight Partnership and Programs Chief Engineer's Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Van Dyke graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University (FSU) in 1990. While in the Department, she focused on courses geared toward the aerospace industry; thus fluid dynamics and aerospace classes called her name.

Florida A&M University and FAMU-FSU College of Engineering graduate student Danielle Carr makes history as the first-ever female FAMU student to be awarded the prestigious SMART scholarship from the Department of Defense (DoD). The mechanical engineer from Pompano Beach, Florida, will receive full tuition and a yearly stipend from the SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program, sponsored by the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center-Philadelphia Division.
