Science & Technology

Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering and at the University of Virginia recently developed a high-tech imaging technique that opens up opportunities to study dysfunction in acute and chronic kidney disease.

A multidisciplinary team led by McKelvey School of Engineering researchers will probe the dynamic brain cell mechanisms on which artificial intelligence is based with a nearly $4 million grant from the U.S. Army.

A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences led by Michael Moore, a postdoctoral fellow with the Living Earth Collaborative, finds that dragonfly males have consistently evolved less breeding coloration in regions with hotter climates.

Researchers examine a 4.6 billion- year-old rock to better understand the solar system’s beginning, and a modern mystery.

Using top-of-the-line research instrumentation from Agilent and Merck, scientists in the Department of Chemistry in Arts & Sciences will develop new metabolomics workflows of interest to many members of the drug-development community.

With NASA’s latest balloon technology, Johanna Nagy in Arts & Sciences is looking 13 billion years into the past, using the oldest light in the universe, to precisely measure the polarization of the microwave sky.

Collaborators from eight St. Louis area institutions will investigate the microbiomes of local box turtles; the diversification of flowering plants in the Gulf of Guinea; and adaptation to climate change and biodiversity loss in Madagascar, among other projects.

Jung-Tsung Shen at the McKelvey School of Engineering has developed a groundbreaking quantum logic gate that brings quantum computing closer to reality.

A new, two-dimensional material from the lab of Rohan Mishra is the first such material to be synthesized and used.

Brian Rauch, research assistant professor of physics in Arts & Sciences, co-authored a study in Physical Review Letters that suggests that certain cosmic rays move through the galaxy differently. The research addresses fundamental questions about how matter is generated and distributed across the universe.
