Urban research and outreach

A team led by Ed Knightly won a $1.8 million NSF grant for one of the first real-world tests of wireless communications technology that uses a broad spectral range to deliver free, high-speed broadband Internet service.

Bob Stein will study how the new technology is used by individuals and groups that have previously been underserved by the Internet and cellular networks.

The grant provides opportunities for undergraduates in the social sciences and humanities to participate in research that can significantly influence public policy about the Internet and wireless communication.

Rice, TMC team take aim at deadly pancreatic cancer

Houston (Oct. 18, 2010) – Researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics, the Radiology Department at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center are preparing to test a combined approach for diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer with a specially engineered nanoparticle.

The five-year, preclinical testing program will be funded by a newly announced $1.8 million grant from the National Cancer Institute’s Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer program.
