Umar Iqbal, a computer security expert from Washington University, explains how smart speakers process user data.
The right moves to rein in fibrosis
Biomedical researchers at Washington University have decoded how mechanical forces drive cell behavior in fibrosis.
Crystallizing time
Physicists in Arts & Sciences have created a new phase of matter in the center of a diamond. They created a new form of time crystal called a discrete-time quasicrystal. Such states could be useful for high-precision sensing and advanced signal processing.
Decades-long quest leads to new antibiotic compounds
A multidisciplinary team led by WashU chemists repurposed an antimalarial drug in the fight against antibiotic resistance.
Exposing ‘forever chemicals’: Rob Bilott brings his fight to WashU
Rob Bilott, the attorney who exposed DuPont’s water contamination cover-up, will speak April 7 for the Assembly Series. “Dark Waters,” a film based on his fight for justice, screens in advance.
A closer look at biomolecular ‘Silly Putty’
Researchers at Washington University have developed a method to peer into biomolecular condensates, which could lead to a better understanding of condensate functions and their impairment in cancers and neurodegeneration.
How cells sense, remember their environments
A $2.2 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant will fund research in the McKelvey School of Engineering to explore how epithelial cells sense their environments and acquire mechanical memories.
