Shake it off

Imagine swimming in open water and feeling slime brush against your leg. Most people might shake it off without a second thought. But what if the surface of a boat could do the same? Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis’ McKelvey School of Engineering are about to find out, thanks to a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to develop materials that incorporate soft robo

Low Temperature Graphene Growth Opens a Route to Sustainable Resource Recycling

Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene production more practical, a recent study has overcome this long-standing temperature barrier. In a study published in the Journal of the

Some assembly required, with machine learning

Machine learning doesn’t replace human intelligence, but it can outlast human endurance, which makes it a very helpful tool for chemistry and material discovery. Scientists know the machine learning models can make predictions based on the vast reams of data it is trained on, but can it take it a step further and massively scale up testing out those predictions? “We already see that AI is powerful

A painless punch with a microneedle patch could detect kidney disease earlier

Kidney disease is silent in its early stages, progressing without symptoms until the disease is advanced. Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, in collaboration with researchers at WashU Medicine and at Texas A&M University, have been developing a minimally invasive method to improve diagnosis in earlier stages. New research from the lab of Srikan
