A promising effort to develop the first simulation of a whole microbe would allow cell biologists to run some experiments on computers, where research can be faster and cheaper but still accurate.

Plasmonics makes it much easier to improve the efficiency of solar cells.

Encryption that allows privacy and access to co-exist earns top dissertation award

Stanford engineers have created a nanoscale probe they can implant in a cell wall without damaging the wall. The probe could allow researchers to listen in on electrical signals within the cell. That could lead to a better understanding of how cells communicate or how a cell responds to medication.

In programs for oral and written communication, students learn how to speak and write clearly and persuasively no matter who is in the audience. It�s a necessary skill for engineers who seek to lead.
