Researchers at the University of Florida and the University of Tennessee are developing technology to improve surgical outcomes. Shuai Li, Ph.D., and his colleagues have developed a soft, magnetically driven, AI-powered, nature-inspired robotic device that mimics the human eye.

Researchers developed a reusable gel that captures PFAS “forever chemicals” from water more effectively than many existing filters.

UF researchers are collaborating to transform the way scientists detect, forecast and respond to dangerous waterborne infections caused by pathogenic Vibrio bacteria. 

The University of Florida’s Innovation Station celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, marking a unique partnership that strengthens Sarasota County’s tech-ready workforce with Gator Engineers.  

University of Florida researchers are using AI-powered digital twins to simulate airport operations, helping airports identify bottlenecks, reduce delays and improve efficiency. Their work could lead to more resilient air travel systems that better adapt to disruptions and growing passenger demand.

Researchers are developing a laser-based manufacturing technique that could enable astronauts to build tools, structures and infrastructure on the moon using materials already available there.

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

Of the 2,500 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships awarded this academic year, 16 winners were Gator engineers from the University of Florida’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

In an occasion marked by snacks, happy tears and pride, engineering faculty members in May celebrated the first graduates to earn the University of Florida’s new master’s degrees in artificial intelligence systems and applied data science.  Thirty-one students graduated with their master’s in Applied Data Science (MSADS), and 24 graduated with UF’s first AI Systems (MSAIS) master’s degrees. The new degrees are the latest steps to position UF as a […]

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.
