Exploring the molecular behavior of biopolymers, an Ohio University research team hopes to uncover the biophysical properties of these polymers and understand how they can be manipulated to create new types of sustainable materials—potentially replacing petroleum-based polymers in various industries.

Highlighting groundbreaking research in biomedical engineering, the University of Akron hosted its 4th Annual Biomedical Engineering Research Day on March 14 where 34 research poster presentations were shared with more than 100 attendees of students, faculty, alumni and industry representatives...  

Researchers from The Ohio State University demonstrated that ambient gamma radiation could be harvested to produce a strong enough electric output to power microelectronics, like microchips ...  “We're harvesting something considered as waste and by nature, trying to turn it into treasure,” said lead author Raymond Cao, who also serves as the director of Ohio State’s Nuclear Reactor Lab.
