Clemson University is collaborating on a $20-million project that could make the internet faster and more secure, opening the door to a host of new services that haven’t yet been imagined, including some in artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Researchers will build a network they are calling FABRIC to test new “internet architectures”– the technical […]
Clemson University researchers are developing three new sensors designed to withstand two of humanity’s harshest environments, the intense heat inside power plants and the tremendous pressure at the bottom of hydraulic fracturing wells. The research, led by Hai Xiao, is aimed at advancing the technology behind fossil fuels, which produce much of the nation’s power. […]
Michael Stoner was sitting in the Clemson University building where he helped conduct some of the nation’s first research into mass timber, when Graham Montgomery walked in and set a paper bag containing a sausage biscuit onto the table. The gesture was a throwback to old times, when Stoner was an undergraduate, Montgomery was a […]
Eighty Clemson University freshmen are participating in a new program that gives them a chance to ease into the challenging math courses that too often derail students’ dreams of becoming engineers. The program, Boyd Scholars, targets freshman engineering majors who need a little extra time for the required calculus courses. Students will take an extended […]
