A soil moisture sensor that is more cost effective than anything currently available

A team of University of Connecticut researchers engineered a soil moisture sensor that is more cost effective than anything currently available and responds to the global need to regulate water consumption in agriculture. Designed and tested on the university’s farm, the sensors are small enough to insert into the soil with ease and less expensive

New open source software research tool for new research: litsearchr

It is hard to get people excited about software, says Eliza Grames, a doctoral candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology. Yet, the software she has developed is exciting for anyone about to embark on a new research and trying to determine whether it’s actually … new. Put yourself into the shoes of a researcher. Before

Could artificial skin give superhuman perception?

A new type of sensor could lead to artificial skin that someday helps burn victims ‘feel’ and safeguards the rest of us, University of Connecticut researchers suggest in a paper in Advanced Materials. Our skin’s ability to perceive pressure, heat, cold, and vibration is a critical safety function that most people take for granted. But burn

Additive manufacturing can produce smart components that detect damage or wear

Scientists at the United Technologies Research Center and UConn are using advanced additive manufacturing technology to create ‘smart’ machine components that alert users when they are damaged or worn. The researchers also applied a variation of the technology to create polymer-bonded magnets with intricate geometries and arbitrary shapes, opening up new possibilities for manufacturing and product design. This changes

Boosting immune system activity with a new compound that could lead to more effective cancer treatments and vaccines

Study identifies mechanisms responsible for improved immune system activity, offering new approaches for more effective cancer treatments and vaccines. Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are powerful weapons our body’s immune systems count on to fight infection and combat diseases like cancer, multiple sclerosis, and lupus. Finding ways to spark these potent cells into action

A biodegradable pressure sensor that could help doctors monitor medical conditions before dissolving harmlessly in a patient’s body

UConn engineers have created a biodegradable pressure sensor that could help doctors monitor chronic lung disease, swelling of the brain, and other medical conditions before dissolving harmlessly in a patient’s body. The UConn research is featured in the current online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The small, flexible sensor is made of medically
