In September 1969, Washington University in St. Louis scientists were among the first to receive samples collected from the historic Apollo 11 moon mission. At this year’s Lunar and Planetary Science Convention, a student, a faculty member and an alum remind us of the value of these samples and share cutting edge research on decades-old rocks.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a one-parameter measure that makes selecting the correct electrolyte for potassium-air batteries an exercise in rationality, rather than patience.

Research from the McKelvey School of Engineering suggests that without considering certain factors, researchers may overestimate how fast calcium carbonate forms in saline environments.

A team involving a doctor and five undergraduate students – three from the McKelvey School of Engineering – recently took first place in the 2019 Discovery Competition.

Dropwise condensation on liquid infused surfaces presented a mystery: what’s causing the movement of water droplets? Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering have found the answer.

Roman Garnett, at the McKelvey School of Engineering, will build new algorithms for a method known as active machine learning that will accelerate extracting knowledge from big data with a five-year, $497,693 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation.

Lloyd “Bob” Brown Sr., a 30-year faculty member in the Department of Electrical Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering, died May 25, 2019. He was 94.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis will now be able to more rapidly study cilia and their dysfunctions thanks to an “acoustic trap” that holds cilia in place without damaging them.

Undergraduate students interested in learning more about thermal management research will have the opportunity to participate in a new summer research program at the McKelvey School of Engineering beginning in the summer of 2019.

The McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University is joining forces with Saint Louis University to promote an innovation, entrepreneurship and growth in the region.
