Step inside the brand-new @ucsandiego.bsky.social Bioengineering Instructional Lab spaces, which are ready for students this fall! Bioengineering lab courses will benefit from a larger, sleeker space, while bioengineering design projects will come to life in a cutting-edge makerspace.

What happens when you shake a 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building on the world's only outdoor earthquake simulator? That's the question engineers from @ucsandiego.bsky.social & @jhu.edu worked to answer this past month.

Why is #NIHfunding critical to early-stage clinical research? @ucsandiego.bsky.social #bioengineering professor Karen Christman explains.
Biomaterials from the @christmanlab.bsky.social are in clinical trials to heal heart conditions, from heart attacks to congenital defects.

Researchers @ucsandiego.bsky.social are getting ready to shake a 10-story building to see how well it withstands #earthquakes! They are helping decide if height limits for cold-formed steel-framed buildings should increase from 6 to 10 stories.

This gripper's 2 fingers are made with measuring tape! It can not only pick up fruits and veggies, but also use a screwdriver; screw in a lightbulb; and open a jar of spices.
@ucsandiego.bsky.social #robotics researchers describe their work in today's issue of Science Advances.

This #robot doesn't need electronics to function--or walk! It's driven by a pneumatic circuit, similar to the mechanism that drives the engine of a steam locomotive. Once it's #3Dprinted, all the robot needs is a cartridge of compressed gas as a source of power.

Research breakthroughs—from lifesaving treatments to cutting-edge technology—are made possible with federal funding. But today, that funding is at risk. Without it, progress stalls.
