Science & Technology

Research led by WashU McKelvey Engineering’s James Friend aims to crack the code of atomization for future aircraft engines.

Mechanical engineers in James Friend’s lab at WashU McKelvey Engineering received a grant to use ultrasound to make fuel droplets smaller, overcoming some of the challenges of detonation-based propulsion engines.

WashU researchers found evidence for chemosymbiotic relationships between animals and microbes emerging prior to the Cambrian explosion.

WashU’s Sang-Hoon Bae plans to use glass to grow 2D crystals with a National Science Foundation CAREER Award.

Isabella Caffarelli, a senior majoring in applied mathematics and minoring in astrophysics in Arts & Sciences, is looking forward to a new research challenge after she graduates from WashU: helping brain scientists use advanced algorithms to sort and understand neurological data in a cleaner, more coherent way.

WashU Arts & Sciences researchers clarify when complexity enables prediction in microbial systems.

New research suggests that neutrinos in the early universe may have transformed into a previously unknown form of radiation. A study led by physicist Bhupal Dev in WashU Arts & Sciences offers a new way to explain certain puzzling observations.

A team including scientists from the WashU Center for Quantum Leaps has harnessed nanodiamonds to take quantum readings of mitochondria. The work could reveal insights about cellular metabolism in health and disease.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that diamond dust is not a suitable particle for stratospheric aerosol injection that could cool the Earth.

WashU researchers will be looking over data about high-energy neutrinos, retrieved during a balloon flight over Antarctica in January.
