A Case Western Reserve scientist is working on a sustainable way to chemically transform so-called “rare earth” minerals into metals for renewable energy applications. If successful, the new process could one day help increase American production of the metals, which are now primarily imported from China.

Just a few miles from campus is Lake Erie—the source of Cleveland’s drinking water, a prime spot for outdoor activity and, at Case Western Reserve, a hotbed for research. Huichun (Judy) Zhang, the Frank H. Neff Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Case School of Engineering, specializes in environmental chemistry and engineering and has conducted considerable research on Lake Erie.

Students at Case Western Reserve University are challenged to “think beyond the possible” each and every day—and third-year PhD student Kathryn Wilcox takes that mission to heart.

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have developed an inexpensive way to transform an ordinary shirt into an electronic smart shirt—one able to monitor and adjust body temperature or even allow the wearer to apply heat to a sore shoulder or back.

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) recently announced the election of Umut Gurkan, the Warren E. Rupp Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, to its College of Fellows.

Biomedical researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that their latest innovation in developing synthetic platelets could help save lives by rapidly stabilizing clots to reduce blood loss from traumatic injuries. This new effort centers on the creation of next-generation, platelet-mimicking nanoparticles.
