David Wetz, professor of electrical engineering An electrical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Arlington is helping develop a safer battery to power drones used to inspect mines for hazards. David Wetz is part of a team working to design a battery that is intrinsically safe because it cannot cause sparking, a danger in mines filled with hazardous, explosive gases. New Mexico Tech is the lead institution on the grant, which is funded by the Alpha Foundation for the Improvement...

Search March 10, 2021   SOCORRO, N.M. -- New Mexico Tech announced the release of its MinerSafe contact-tracing app that offers the highest level of user data privacy and security available on the market. The app uses geo-fencing to cover the entire university campus, but it does not track users when they are not on campus. Furthermore, the data is heavily protected and will be frequently purged in an ongoing p...

Date Time Lab’s ACT-UP awards focus on collaborative research Gaia Righi, Ph.D. candidate from UC San Diego, works on a project titled “Dynamic Strength of Iron Under Phase Changing Conditions.” Righi and faculty adviser Marc Meyers work with Hye-Sook Park and Rob Rudd from LLNL. The team was awarded an ACT-UP award last year. With a focus on increasing joint research efforts between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and universities, the Lab’s Weapon Physics and Design (WPD...
