Graduate student Alex Nguyen in Arts & Sciences calculated the depth and density of the solar system’s most mysterious and remote body of water.

A study from biologists and clinicians at Washington University in St. Louis reports that glioblastoma cells have built-in circadian rhythms that create better times of day for treatment.

In a study published recently in Advanced Materials, researchers from Washington University and the University of Southern California reveal a new pathway for designing optical materials using the degree of atomic disorder. The researchers anticipate developing crystals that enable advanced infrared imaging in low-light conditions or to enhance medical imaging devices.

Students from Washington University brought home eight awards from the WERC Environmental Design Contest.

An engineer in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University is implementing quantum technology to develop ways that lasers can operate effectively in challenging environments.

A technique developed by Washington University researchers vastly expands the range of optical sensors used in measuring chemical signatures and molecules.

Washington University’s new National Academy of Sciences members are Michael S. Diamond, MD, PhD, the Herbert S. Gasser Professor of Medicine at the School of Medicine, and David C. Queller, the Spencer T. Olin Professor of Biology in Arts & Sciences.

Undergraduates Hannah Davis, Shelei Pan, Braxton Sizemore and Shan Wang were honored by the Department of Biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.

The Ursaworks Robotics Club at Washington University in St. Louis secured a second-place finish at the 2024 Midwest RoboMaster Competition.

Being a predator has its own costs, and that’s as true for amoebae as it is for lions or wolves. Graduate student P.M. Shreenidhi joined David Queller and other Art & Sciences researchers to study the predatory nature of a particular soil-dwelling amoeba.
