Science & Technology

Using computer simulations and a simple theoretical model, physicist Mikhail Tikhonov in Arts & Sciences showed how bacteria could adapt to a fluctuating environment by learning its statistical regularities — for example, which nutrients tend to be correlated — and do so faster than evolutionary trial-and-error would normally allow.

St. Louis shows the strongest correlation between biodiversity and income of the 20 major U.S. cities included in a recent study. Solny Adalsteinsson, staff scientist at Tyson Research Center and a lecturer in the environmental studies program in Arts & Sciences, is a co-author of the new research published in Global Change Biology.

Eric Conners, a graduate student in in biology in Arts & Sciences, received a 2021-22 Howard A. Schneiderman Fellowship.

Research from the lab of Jonathan Silva at the McKelvey School of Engineering leveraged computational models to analyze 70 years of arrhythmia-related data.

The Sam Fox School’s James Harrison Steedman Fellowship in Architecture, a biennial research competition, invites early-career architects from around the world to explore how architecture can help to address today’s most pressing global challenges.

The McKelvey School of Engineering’s Nathaniel Huebsch will use a nearly $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common cause of sudden death in young people.

A new, drug-free technology developed in the lab of Jianjun Guan at the McKelvey School of Engineering helps speed up the healing process of diabetic wounds.

A team from the McKelvey School of Engineering and the School of Medicine will use a $3.12 million grant to improve brain imaging to better understand stroke recovery.

The lab of Fuzhong Zhang has borrowed from synthetic chemistry to develop a platform enabling bacteria to build a synthetic muscle fiber.

New research from physicists in Arts & Sciences reveals that neurons in the visual cortex — the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli — respond differently to the same kind of stimulus over time.
