WSU researchers are working on growing crystals and researching ideal elements to give the grown crystals photoconductive properties. Photoconductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electricity...

WSU researchers discovered atoms cooled to near absolute zero temperatures create reflective patterns similar to light and can be focused into caustic shapes. The laws of physics drastically change...

A team of astronomers, including a WSU astrophysicist, will use the James Webb Telescope to search for black holes located in small galaxies. This will help determine their impact on the solar system...

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science received a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help train eight doctorate students from underrepresented communities in...

A WSU researcher developed a framework that will provide a holistic view of homes with residents who have disabilities or mobility impairments in order to make their lives easier. The Enterprise Technology...

WSU made a commercial licensing deal with Massachusetts-based Fusione Corp. to manufacture environmentally-responsible de-icing technology. The collaboration aims to provide a sustainable de-icer that...

WSU is partnering with researchers from Oregon State University and University of Washington to help coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest become more resilient to potential threats they face. Coastal...

A WSU professor created the world’s smallest robot powered by methanol combustion and a shape-memory alloy. The robot, named RoBeetle, is a proof of concept created by Nestor Perez-Arancibia, associate...

Around the world, tons of disposable plastic are thrown away each day, while only about 9 percent of plastic is recycled worldwide.  Plastic materials usually end up in landfills or the ocean. Every...

WSU researchers at the Engineering Teaching and Research Laboratory have developed a 3D-printed sensor capable of detecting glyphosate in beverages.  Glyphosate is a herbicide that can possibly cause...

Seated in the console room of WSU’s Dodgen Research Facility, nuclear reactor operators have a poolside view unlike any other. Just on the other side of the console room window lies a 25-foot deep...

When Noel Schulz was in middle school, she built a TV with her father.  “I actually had resistor earrings when I was in middle school, earrings that had a resistor in different colors,” Schulz...
