Researchers at the University of Kentucky are exploring new ways to use nanoparticles in combination with other materials as an innovative approach to cancer therapy. The paper titled “Iron Oxide Nanozymes Enhanced by Ascorbic Acid for Macrophage-Based Cancer Therapy” was published earlier this year in Nanoscale, a high-impact journal in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
SPARK Lab researchers within the Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky (PEIK) and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department presented a record number of 11 papers at this year’s edition of the IEEE ECCE Congress.
The Department of Mining Engineering received a donation of over $200,000 from the Friends of Coal - Kentucky organization to support Kentucky students pursuing degrees in mining-related fields.
Last month, 280 of students from 20 Kentucky High School were welcomed to campus for the annual Transition to Engineering (T2E) project kick-off event.
