Thanks for the highlight @UMNews!
A historic moment! ✨
Yesterday, a mechanical engineering team from the University of Minnesota successfully sent the new Minnesota State Flag on its first-ever flight to space. #umnproud〽️ @UMNME

Our recent paper is in TOP 25 most-read Physics articles in Nature Communications for 2022. Exciting! 🥳Congrats to Matt, Sam, and Yujie for their hard work!

Ognjen Ilic, an ME at @UMNCSE: “Waves carry energy, they carry momentum and they can use that to move things. We started doing some research on how that can be done with light. Then we saw that a lot of similar physics apply to sound as well.”

Take a look at this video of some CSE highlights from 2022. So much great work — and lots of ME-driven research to change the world! #UMNProud
What a year! As 2022 draws to a close, we thought we'd share some highlights from this past trip around the sun.
We present to you—CSE Wrapped 2022. #UMNProud

A study published last month by University of Minnesota mechanical engineering researchers has the potential to make waves – ultrasonic waves, to be exact – in fields like surgery and manufacturing. kstp.com/kstp-news/local-new…
Congrats to Matt, Sam, and Yujie! 🏆 Thanks to @AFOSR and @umn_mnri for supporting this work. #metamaterials #Robotics
Wow! Using ultrasound waves and metamaterial surfaces, @UMNME researchers have discovered a new way to move objects without physically touching them, opening the door for using contactless manipulation in robotics, manufacturing, etc. @UMNresearch @UMNews

Did you know: if you place tiny patterns on the surface of an object, you can use ultrasound to steer and guide it from a distance and without physical contact?

It was wonderful to hear about near-zero-index photonics from @NaderEngheta at the @UMNME Departmental seminar. Thank you, Nader! #photonics

Congrats to Assistant Prof. Ognjen Ilic on his @AFResearchLab Young Investigator award! His research aims to use light to manipulate ultra-lightweight objects at long distances, which could eliminate the need for spacecrafts to carry fuel onboard. #UMNProud @UMNresearch @UMNME
Honored to be awarded the AFOSR YIP - thanks @AFOSR! Excited for the work ahead.
