<description><![CDATA[Whether innovating cheap, efficient ways to diagnose tuberculosis and cancer, or building a nanosatellite that measures the effect of solar storms on our power grids, Boston University Engineering undergraduates are engaged at the cutting edge of research. More than 100 undergraduates, many in paid positions, work alongside faculty and graduate students each year to create solutions to some of societyâ€™s most challenging problems.

<description><![CDATA[Ernest Moniz, Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics and Engineering Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, director of MITâ€™s Energy Initiative and of the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment at the MIT physics department, reflects on the climate change negotiation process during the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as the Copenhagen Summit, and the future of climate change policy and technology initiatives during a Boston University Presidential Lecture on Clean Energy and Environmental Sustainability. The future of climate change policy, he says, is â€œuncertain.â€

<title>A New Wrinkle in Waterproofing: BU-MIT Team Engineers Surface That Repels Water Faster</title>

<description><![CDATA[BU Assistant Professor James C. Bird (ME, MSE) and collaborators in the Varanasi group at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering found that when they augmented micro- or nanostructured surfaces with periodic, wrinkle-like features, liquid drops bounced off at faster rates than previously thought possible. The engineers reported their findings in the cover story of the November 21 issue of Nature.

In the top video, prior to adding ridge-like features to a micro- or nanostructured surface, a water drop would spread out to a maximum diameter, retract until the edges of the drop met its stationary center point, and bounce off the surface. With the introduction of the ridges (bottom video), the center point moved to meet the edges as the drop recoiled, heading it off at the pass. The drop then split in two before jumping off the surface. 

"We've demonstrated that we can use surface texture to reshape a drop as it recoils in such a way that the overall contact time is significantly reduced," said Bird, the paper's lead author, who directs the Interfacial Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at BU. "The upshot is that the surface stays drier longer if this contact time is reduced, which has the potential to be useful for a variety of applications." 

Such surfaces may improve the performance of systems that operate better under dry conditions, such as steam turbines or aircraft wings, and enable cold surfaces, such as rooftops, to resist icing by shedding liquid drops before the drops freeze.]]></description>

<title>Connecting the Dots: New &acirc;&euro;&oelig;Atom Calligraphy&acirc;&euro; Technology Could Lead to Mass-Produced Nanodevices</title>

<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest obstacles on the road to mass-producing nanoscale devices ranging from integrated circuits to biosensors is a persistent inability to precisely manipulate nanomaterials to build reliable, functional products at a reasonable cost. The main challenge has been to pattern materials at precise locations in a repeatable manner over relatively large areas. Conventional approaches have proven inconsistent, wasteful and expensive. 

To meet this challenge, Professor David Bishop (ECE, Physics, MSE) and collaborators at Boston University and Bell Laboratories have developed a low-cost, microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based machine that directs atoms onto a surface through different-sized holesâ€”each no more than 50 nanometers acrossâ€”on silicon plates. These MEMS plates can move with nanometer precision to create exacting patterns over surfaces of more than 400 square microns, roughly the area of a human white blood cell. Shutters positioned a micrometer or so above each MEMS plate enable high-speed control of where and when atoms are deposited. 

The researchers have produced lines, bridges, rings, infinity symbols, BU logos and many other nanoscale metal patterns by depositing gold and chromium atoms through the holes while moving the plates. The machine and the concept behind it are described in Nano Letters.]]></description>
