When Reid Wiseman ‘97 strapped into the Orion spacecraft in April for humanity's first lunar voyage in more than half a century, he carried with him not just the hopes of a new generation of space explorers, but the legacy of the nation's oldest technical school — one that has quietly shaped America's journey to the cosmos.
When Reid Wiseman '97 straps into the Orion capsule as commander of Artemis II, NASA's first crewed lunar mission in more than half a century, he won't be the only RPI alum with a stake in the flight.
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter — known as a supersolid — by engineering how light and matter interact inside a nanoscale device. The work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, demonstrates that this exotic quantum phase can exist at room temperature, overcoming a long-standing limitation in the field.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has appointed Professor Alhussein (Hussein) Abouzeid, Ph.D., as head of the department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering (ECSE).
Research aims to address a critical bottleneck in the production of mRNA therapeutics.
Two RPI researchers, Ge Wang, Ph.D., Clark & Crossan Endowed Chair Professor and director of the Biomedical Imaging Center at RPI, and Fudong Han, Ph.D., associate professor and Priti & Mukesh Chatter '82 Career Development Chair, have earned a spot on Clarivate’s 2025 Highly Cited Researchers list.
By creating and implementing new educational, engagement, and research opportunities for students and faculty, RPI and GF are driving semiconductor innovation and producing the next generation of leaders in the semiconductor industry.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) mechanical engineering alumna Clare Severance ’18 has been honored with a place on the 2025 Society of Manufacturing Engineers 30 Under 30 list.
A team led by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has made a breakthrough in semiconductor development that could reshape the way we produce computer chips, optoelectronics and quantum computing devices.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) recently held an Investiture ceremony to formally recognize Shekhar Garde, Ph.D., as the Thomas R. Farino, Jr. ’67 and Patricia E. Farino Dean of the School of Engineering, a significant moment for the Institute that will strengthen engineering at RPI across education, research, and the student experience.
