A BYU professor has figured out a way to shave years off the complicated design and licensing processes for modern nuclear reactors: artificial intelligence. That's right, nuclear power is teaming up with AI — but don't worry, no one is giving AI the nuclear codes.
It was an Education Week workshop that gave Alyssa Bagoyo the courage to major in chemical engineering and pay tribute to her late mom’s BYU degree and heritage by minoring in business and Japanese.
BYU professor and nuclear engineering expert Matthew Memmott and his colleagues have designed a new system for nuclear energy production: a molten salt micro-nuclear reactor that may solve meltdown risks.
Researchers at BYU have worked to develop new ways to convert dead, decaying trees into a fuel that can be used in coal power plants, and as a result, also reduce net carbon emissions.
Four BYU professors across four disciplines — molecular biology, chemistry, integrated optics and chemical processing — have created a method to extract superbugs from whole blood, prep them for testing and then provide a diagnosis all in under one hour.


New Department of Defense-sponsored research from BYU’s Fire Research Lab is getting into the microscopic details of how fast wildfires burn.
BYU professor also wins prestigious chemical engineering honor
Hazy, smoke-filled skies can have serious health effects
Syntrichia caninervis (aka seriously awesome desert moss) uses tiny hair-like structures on its leaves to absorb water from the atmosphere until droplets form and flow to the leaf. And sometimes it does it upside-down.

Researchers at BYU have devised a system to speed up the process of making life-saving vaccines for new viruses.
