Somayeh Nassiri and Li Hui measure properties of cement formulas that contain nanoparticles of chitin.
Postdoctoral researcher Jamie Kee and Professor Su Ha and the novel reactor they developed to produce pure compressed hydrogen
The WSU researchers developed a process to fabricate tiny mask fibers, ranging from five to 30 millimeters in length, and then added them to cement concrete to strengthen it and to prevent its cracking.
A group of bat viruses related to SARS-CoV-2 can also infect human cells but uses a different and unknown entryway.
As the Major League Baseball season gets underway, a burning question for many fans of the third most popular sport in the United States is how many home runs they will see this season.
A long-overlooked first step in developing sustainable aviation fuels is to begin with the right configuration of molecular ingredients.
Comparison of a concrete sample coated with nano-modified sealer (left) versus untreated concrete (right)
Researchers, led by Professor Amit Badyopadhyay, center, have led efforts to use 3D printing for designing alloys. Photo pre-2020.
The images compare experimental (left) and simulated (right) reaction intermediate in the formation of a benzene-like compound with single bonds.
A recent modeling study shows that bark beetle outbreaks in forests won’t necessarily cause bigger and more damaging wildfires — at least not for awhile.
An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t.
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane. A microbial culture developed from the kangaroo feces inhibited methane production in a cow stomach simulator in a Washington State University study.
A method to convert a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin used in 3D-printing could allow for making better use of plastic waste.
A new energy-efficient way to produce hydrogen gas from ethanol and water has the potential to make clean hydrogen fuel a more viable alternative for gasoline to power cars.
With the pervasive single-use masks during the pandemic now presenting an environmental problem, researchers have demonstrated the idea of incorporating old masks into a cement mixture to create stronger, more durable concrete.
Many researchers can spend a lifetime presenting their work at professional conferences, publishing in scientific journals, or lecturing students in their classrooms.
