SMART TEXTILES

Dartmouth College researchers have developed a novel method for making electronic textiles using a durable copper-based coating that can be integrated into fabrics. These textiles react to harmful gases in the air and transform them into less toxic substances that become embedded into the fabric. Read More

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS CHART NEW CAREERS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY

At UNH Manchester under the mentorship of Dr. Won Hyuk Suh, Darrell Caudill and Trixie Vazquez learned the language and culture of a research lab while investigating the use of bioprinted and crosslinked protein-based hydrogels to engineer human neural stem cells as part of the summer 2023 Undergraduate Research Training with NH BioMade.
