Science & Technology

In a new paper in Physical Review Letters, Kater Murch in Arts & Sciences and his collaborators explore the effects of memory in quantum systems. View an illustrated video about the experiments and findings.

Dan Giammar, the Walter E. Browne Professor of Environmental Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University, has been elected a fellow of the Class of 2024 Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors.

Mark Lawrence and Ismael Seáñez, both assistant professors in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University, have won $25,000 Collaboration Initiation Grants from the school.

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.
