David Bishop wins prestigious prize for his contributions to understanding superfluids
David Bishop was awarded the 2026 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize on November 5, 2025, for groundbreaking experiments that uncovered the role of vortices in the superfluid phase transition in helium films and observed anyonic braiding statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect, thus establishing the significance of topological excitations in two-dimensions.
Self-Driving Lab to Accelerate the Breakdown of Toxic Chemicals
A new federally funded research effort is tackling one of chemistry’s most complex challenges, safely breaking down toxic industrial chemicals. Keith Brown (ME, MSE, Physics)(PI) and James Chapman (ME, MSE)(co-PI) in collaboration with Xi Ling (Chemistry, MSE) are bringing together robotics, artificial intelligence, and materials science to find a solution. The project is supported by […]

Recent ENG PhD Helps Develop Highly Sensitive Imaging Technique to Detect Myelin Damage
In a new study from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and BU’s College of Engineering, researchers used a special microscope called birefringence microscopy (BRM) paired with an automated deep learning algorithm to reliably count and map myelin damage across whole sections of the brain—something not feasible with other techniques. The ability to image and measure damage to myelin will lead to better understanding the patterns and extent that occurs with disease, injury and normal aging.
