UF scientists createdBlueME, a magnetoelectric antenna that lets underwater robots communicate over 700 meters.

With locations on UF’s main campus in Gainesville and a regional campus on Eglin Air Force Base in the Panhandle, Florida Applied Research in Engineering, known as FLARE, now provides real-world — and highly secure — research for the Department of Defense.

UF engineering professor Patrick Traynor, Ph.D. says commercially available tools used to detect AI-generated text in scientific literature are ineffective.

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics and treatments safer, more precise and more affordable, while opening the door to entirely new ways of controlling disease.

University of Florida researchers, in collaboration with Princeton University, have developed a new genome-editing technology called CODE that enables more precise DNA modifications without cutting both strands of DNA. The system could help expand the possibilities of gene-editing therapies for genetic diseases, agriculture and developmental biology.

UF engineers are sending photonic semiconductor chips to the International Space Station to test performance in harsh space conditions. 

A University of Florida engineering research team is working to optimize communications among autonomous units — drones and self-driving vehicles, for example — in a project funded by an Air Force Research Lab University Center of Excellence Award.  

HiPerGator the supercomputer has changed the face of engineering research at the University of Florida. 

Researchers at the University of Florida are advancing new technologies to detect nuclear activity from space, positioning the university at the forefront of a rapidly evolving area of national security and space research.

UF researchers are developing AI models that combine satellite imagery, soil data and weather patterns to detect early indicators of sinkholes and improve risk prediction across Florida.
