NYU Tandon research to improve emergency responses in urban areas with support from NVIDIA

A team of researchers from NYU Tandon’s C2SMARTER — a U.S. Department of Transportation-funded Tier 1 University Transportation Center — has received an NVIDIA Academic Grant Program award to develop an advanced simulation system aimed at improving emergency response in urban areas.

Deep-sea sponge’s “zero-energy” flow control could inspire new energy efficient designs, according to research co-led by NYU Tandon School of Engineering

The deep-sea Venus flower basket sponge can filter feed using only the faint ambient currents of the ocean depths, no pumping required, new research reveals. This discovery of natural ‘“zero energy” flow could help engineers design more efficient chemical reactors, air purification systems, heat exchangers, hydraulic systems, and aerodynamic surfaces.
