A WSU research team has created a recyclable carbon-fiber reinforced composite that could eventually replace the non-recyclable version used in everything from modern airplane wings to sporting goods.

The WSU Tri‑Cities team is designing the ventilator as part of their senior capstone project under the guidance and mentorship of engineering professors Mohamed Osman and Barbara Philipp.

New WSU research shows water could help improve catalysts used for thermochemical reactions: lowering energy barriers and more efficiently converting biomaterials to fuels.

The WSU research could lead to reduced reliance on energy-intensive processes that are used to move and treat wastewater, which accounts for as much as 2% of total U.S. electrical energy consumption.

WSU researchers have used the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to possibly solve a key challenge for outer space travel – how to store and move fuel to rocket engines.

Washington State University power researchers are working to develop better tools to keep the lights on during extreme events.

A new study by WSU scientists shows there is a correlation between the levels of bacteria and fungi in the gastrointestinal tract of children and the amount of common chemicals found in their home environment.

WSU researchers have developed a novel framework to more efficiently use AI algorithms on mobile platforms and other portable devices.

The Washington State Department of Ecology has awarded a $1.6 million grant to WSU researchers to protect, preserve and enhance Columbia River water resources.

The research could ultimately lead to earlier detection of the neurodegenerative brain disease that affects 5.8 million people in the U.S.
