Dartmouth Professor Honored for Developing 'Camera-on-a-Chip' That Powers Smartphones

Eric Fossum, a senior professor of emerging technologies, received the Bayh-Dole Coalition's American Innovator Award for co-inventing the camera-on-a-chip technology used in smartphones, medical devices and other electronics. The article also highlights Fossum's leadership of Dartmouth's PhD Innovation Program, which helps doctoral students commercialize research and launch startup companies.

Melting Glaciers Trigger Earthquakes [Audio]

Colin Meyer, an associate professor of engineering, discusses research linking glacier melt to increased seismic activity beneath Mont Blanc in the Alps. Meyer explains that meltwater can lubricate fractures in bedrock, triggering small earthquakes, and says the study illustrates how climate change is affecting natural systems in unexpected ways. "It's connecting the story about how climate is causing mountain glaciers to melt, and how that's affecting systems that are beyond the typical systems we think about," Meyer said.

Biden's Climate Law Is Dead. The Energy Transition Might Not Be.

Erin Mayfield, an assistant professor of engineering who served as a climate consultant to the Biden administration, comments on the rocky climate and energy outlook one year after the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act. "With the Inflation Reduction Act, the idea was that you're building this kind of foundation for future change," Mayfield said.

Plug-In Batteries Kept NYC Renters Cool During Record Heat Wave

Bryan Bollinger '03, Th'03, a professor of marketing, comments on a pilot program that uses home batteries to power window air conditioners during periods of peak electricity demand. "Distributed energy storage is a resource that [utilities] can leverage to avoid these peak demand spikes, and there's a clear benefit for them, in terms of deferring their capacity investments," said Bollinger.

Strengthening Science and Connections in Greenland

Research Scientist Aleah Sommers co-organized and taught at the Greenland Ice Sheet Ocean (GRISO) Science Summer School, held in Nuuk, Greenland. The two-week intensive course brought together PhD students and postdocs from around the world to connect with and learn from Greenland-based scientists and local Greenlandic organizations. "After teaching at the GRISO Summer School, I feel inspired about connecting glacier hydrology to the downstream impacts on lakes, fjords, ecology, and communities, and exploring how to connect physical process modeling with community interests and local research priorities," said Sommers.

mRNA Flu Vaccine for Better Protection

Research Scientist Tae-Geun Yu is co-first  author, and Professor Jiwon Lee is co-corresponding author of "mRNA-based influenza vaccine expands the B cell response breadth in humans" published in Nature Immunology. A collaboration with WashU Medicine, the study found that Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine—currently under review by FDA—triggers an immune response against a wide array of flu strains, potentially offering stronger and longer-lasting protection.
