West Virginia University scientists have developed a new "smart projectile" that they say can be fired from traditional weapons by soldiers on the battlefield and then transform during flight into unmanned aerial vehicles that can provide unprecedented battlefield surveillance through miniature cameras.

Mountaineers at the gate: Dr. Pat Browning and Dr. Jay Wilhelm of the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources are ready to test WVU's new smart ordnance at the US Army Yuma Proving Grounds this week.

Two West Virginia University engineering students were awarded fellowships through the U.S. Department of Energy's University Turbine Systems Research program. Tim Repko and Collins Youngblood will travel to two different parts of the country to fulfill their fellowships.
