How hands-on learning shaped a founder’s approach

For deep-space missions to the moon, Mars and beyond, one deceptively simple question drives some of NASA’s most complex engineering challenges: How do you keep enough fuel cold—and stable—long enough to use it? That problem is at the center of ongoing zero boil-off tank (ZBOT) research, which…

Northeast Ohio was in the national spotlight this week (Jan. 21-22) as regional leaders hosted a site visit from the National Science Foundation (NSF) review team evaluating NEO-SMART, a regionally led, execution-ready collaborative that is a finalist in the NSF’s Regional Innovation Engines…

Somewhere between deciphering a plan's “out-of-pocket maximum” and Googling whether your doctor is “in-network,” buying health insurance on healthcare.gov feels less like shopping and more like solving a puzzle designed by someone who doesn't want you to win. Two Case Western Reserve University…

Case Western Reserve University faculty members Robert Brown and Jesse Wainright have been named fellows of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), the highest professional distinction awarded solely to inventors, in honor of their innovations in physics and electrochemical engineering,…

Research addresses major barrier to long-term success of brain-computer interfaces

Case Western Reserve University researchers help solve 3.4-million-year-old mystery

Halfway through his first year at Case Institute of Technology, Grant Saviers (CIT ’66; GRS ’68, engineering) walked into the computing center and discovered the Burroughs 220—a room-sized machine humming with mystery. Encouraged to experiment, he discovered both an interest in computer engineering…

When Robert Gingell (CIT ’77) first stepped onto the Case Western Reserve campus, he had little idea how profoundly the university would shape the rest of his life. Together with his wife, Diane, the Gingells have remained deeply connected to CWRU—through philanthropy, professional work and…
