A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis plans to investigate the neural mechanisms behind various controls of transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation in generating different leg movements with a five-year, nearly $3 million grant the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing a wearable device that aims to track blood loss in pregnant women during delivery, with support from a $2.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The device aids in early warning signs for postpartum hemorrhage, a birth complication that is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide.

A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis is developing an at-home wearable device that would monitor electrical and mechanical signals in the uterus during pregnancy and labor, with a four-year $920,769 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis will empower people to monitor their own tap water with a project funded through the National Science Foundation.

In July, NASA formally designated WashU’s Geosciences Node, a division of NASA’s Planetary Data System that has been on campus since 1989, to serve as the lead science data node for the Artemis II, III and IV missions.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are finding ways to efficiently reclaim useful intermediary chemicals from sewage instead of a more energy-intensive process for biogas reclamation.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found new rules for how groups of cells can sense beyond their surrounding environment, which can help in tracking how cancer moves and how wounds heal.

With National Science Foundation support, physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have created quantum sensors that track stress and magnetism at pressures exceeding 30,000 times Earth’s atmosphere.
