Dan Freeman, founding director of UD’s Horn Entrepreneurship program, explained that innovations can be translated to society in many ways. It isn’t always about starting a company. Maybe it’s the distillation of best practices that others can adopt, such as those provided to the biomedical training community through The Perry Initiative, co-founded by UD mechanical engineer Jenny Buckley.

Sometimes a text message, an email or a quick phone call will do. But there are definitely times when it’s important to be on location to meet in 3D.
That’s why University of Delaware leaders have made “UD Day in D.C.” a priority. Every other year, several dozen UD researchers and students make the trip to the nation’s capital to explain the impact of federally funded research and highlight its role in driving innovation, economic growth and scientific discovery.

Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with many other sciences, such as chemistry, physics and mathematics, which help us to better understand cells, genetics, evolution and the interaction of many living systems.
Synthetic biology, a rapidly growing area of science, aims to take it all to another level, drawing on innovative techniques from biology and engineering, including the use of DNA sequencing and synthesis.

The UD spacesuit shell textiles are treated with multiple nanotechnologies, including shear thickening fluid, a revolutionary material co-developed by UD and STF Technologies that normally behaves like a liquid, but becomes a solid under impact, a useful feature when puncture resistance is a priority. The hope is that beyond puncture protection, the STF-infused spacesuit textiles will offer greater dust deterrence, increasing the material’s lifespan in space.

Mimicking the complex structure and function of the lung in a lab setting is inherently challenging. The UD-developed 3D lung model is unique in several ways. First, the model breathes in the same cyclic motion as an actual lung. That’s key, Fromen said. The model also contains lattice structures to represent the entire volume and surface area of a lung.
