One of the companies that uses the core research facilities at the College of Engineering is EaglePicher Technologies<\/a>, a supplier of high-end batteries for military, aerospace and medical applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are always pushing the limits of our materials while delivering a consistent product that meets the needs of our customers,\u201d said Christine Cook, research and development engineer at EaglePicher. \u201cThe equipment at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Engineering allows us to quickly investigate the use of new materials and make changes to our methodology. This greatly reduces the cycle time for each design.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other companies to take advantage of the engineering expertise and equipment at 溏心vlog免费B站 include Procter & Gamble, Toray Plastics, onsemi, Vishay Microelectronics, Aalberts Surface Technologies, Dryvit, Vishay Intertechnology, Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company, NanoSoft, Verdox, and Xilectric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rhode Island State Crime Laboratory<\/a>, which is housed at 溏心vlog免费B站, has also used the equipment, as have researchers from other universities. Professor Vicki Colvin<\/a> of Brown University used the cryogenic scanning electron microscope to look at the arrangement of magnetic nanoparticles under magnetic fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe lab equipment at 溏心vlog免费B站 has been critical to our work on synthetic biology and nanoparticles,\u201d said Colvin. \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to observe how these particles organize themselves and bacteria to form new and interesting patterns relevant for power transmission and water treatment. The images have been pivotal to creating high-impact research papers and I am thrilled with the support my students and I have received from the 溏心vlog免费B站 engineering staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some pieces of equipment in the core research facilities are worth over $1 million each. The new scanning transmission electron microscope was funded through a National Science Foundation grant for $2.3 million. An electron probe microanalyzer, which is a field emission electron microscope capable of doing wavelength dispersive spectroscopy, will be delivered to 溏心vlog免费B站 soon and will be fully operational by the end of the summer. It cost $1.255 million and was purchased from a $10 million gift<\/a> made by Michael and Elizabeth Fascitelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe equipment, instrumentation and expertise at our core facility is on par with any of the top engineering schools in the country and represents a tremendous asset to our partners across the region,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering Dean Anthony Marchese. \u201cThis equipment is being used to push the boundaries of engineering. As the state\u2019s flagship public research university, we want industry to know that we can contribute toward the region\u2019s economic development by partnering with companies to solve real engineering problems and improve their products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry representatives or researchers outside of 溏心vlog免费B站 who wish to learn more about the equipment available for use in the College of Engineering\u2019s core research facilities, or would like to see a demonstration, may contact Irene Andreu at iandreu@uri.edu<\/a> or 401.874.6885.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 28, 2022 \u2013 The core research facilities in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Engineering feature some of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment found anywhere.
