Dear UD Community,
Since last evening’s crash on Main Street that took the life of a University of Delaware graduate student (whose identity is being withheld at this time) and injured several others, we have been struggling to cope with the pain of this senseless tragedy. Throughout the UD community, we are all feeling the deep ache of loss, and we will continue to work through our grief together.

“We currently have Oatly as our non-dairy flavor, but it’s not from anything on our farm; we just buy that base,” Hill said. “The initial thought was, ‘How can I make a milk base with something that is plant-based from here?’” Hill went through various versions of non-dairy options, such as using oats or nuts, but with limited crop space and the desire to make an allergen-free option, these weren’t ideal.

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.

Cattle produce more methane than any other livestock. Methane, a greenhouse gas, traps heat, which warms the Earth. It is far more powerful than its more common counterpart, carbon dioxide.
When cows graze, microbes in their stomach break down their food and make methane. Cows then belch and fart that methane into the Earth’s atmosphere, through a process called enteric fermentation. The that just one cow can emit 154 to 264 pounds of methane gas into the atmosphere each year.

University computer science (CS) courses serve as important bridges into further CS study and careers in STEM. Yet many women and underrepresented students with interests in STEM turn away from these career paths in college. With new research in CS education, University of Delaware researchers are uncovering more effective ways for instructors to support all student learning and encourage persistence in the field.

Less than a year into her role with an engineering and design firm in Newark, DEDC, electrical engineer Joy Dufitumukiza embarked on another new journey: earning a project management certificate through the University of Delaware’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies (UD PCS). She had already been recognized in Electrical Construction and Maintenance magazine’s 2023 “30 under 30,” but she was determined not to rest on her achievements.
