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

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

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
UAlbany sophomore Collin Flynn spent his summer studying the electrical properties of moon soil in support of ongoing efforts to get humans back to the moon, thanks to a 10-week research opportunity provided through the College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering's Summer Undergraduate Research Program.

The four projects, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and Wellcome , span all areas of the University and cover topics ranging from healthcare and artificial intelligence to waste management, pollution and sustainable technology. Funded by the Leverhulme Trust, the first of these DTPS will train the next generation of researchers to tackle the global waste crisis through interdisciplinary research and

The ideas kept coming. So the team behind WashU’s AI Perspectives Week decided to add a second week of programming. Nathan Jacobs, vice provost for artificial intelligence, was not surprised by the community’s interest. “The proposals came from every corner of the university,” said Jacobs, a professor of computer science and engineering at WashU McKelvey Engineering . “Our faculty and students hav
