Their results could accelerate the use of 3D printers to address key challenges for long-term space missions. (Photo credit: Team AVAIL)

Unraveling a physics mystery in microgravity: U of T Engineering students fly their experiment

U of T Engineering students Andy Liao (Year 2 CivE), Ernesto Diaz Lozano Patiño (CivE 1T5 + PEY, MASc candidate), Alejandro Sarellano Acevedo (ECE MEng candidate), and Mackenzie de Carle (Year 3 CivE) are members of the team that earned a $20,000 prize for their proposal to install solar-powered street lighting in Mexico City’s Toltenco community.
