Face masks and social distancing are both well-known ways to keep airborne pathogens, like COVID-19, at bay, but University of Central Florida researchers Michael Kinzel and Kareem Ahmed are working on a possible new one — a combination of food products that alters people’s saliva. The concept is based on new work from the researchers […]

University of Central Florida researchers are building on their technology that could pave the way for hypersonic flight, such as travel from New York to Los Angeles in under 30 minutes. In their latest research published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers discovered a way to stabilize the […]

Research is the cornerstone of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, but not every research project gets attention. To spotlight the hidden gems developed by its alumni, students and faculty, CECS hosted the UCF Technology Ventures Symposium earlier this year. The virtual event featured industry speakers, student panels and a competitive start-up pitch competition […]

Two UCF students are among 43 nationwide who have been chosen to receive the inaugural Patti Grace Smith Fellowship for Black aerospace undergraduates. Alexandria Baca, a first-year student, and Loubensky Baine, a second-year student, were selected for the new honor established to promote diversity in the aerospace industry. The two were picked after applicants were […]

New research from the University of Central Florida has identified physiological features that could make people super-spreaders of viruses such as COVID-19. In a study appearing this month in the journal Physics of Fluids, researchers in UCF’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering used computer-generated models to numerically simulate sneezes in different types of people […]
