A group of Yakima Valley eighth graders got to test school-made sensors in real-world farming, thanks to a pilot field program through the WSU-led AI Institute for Transforming Workforce and Decision Support.
WSU scientists have recently developed a way to statistically analyze complex sensor data so that the computer algorithms that make data-based decisions can be more resilient and better able to cope with small errors.
A new method to treat sewage can efficiently convert leftover sludge to biogas, an advance that could help communities lower their waste treatment costs while helping the environment.
Low-cost tests that use nanoparticles to detect chemicals can accurately measure tiny amounts of two potentially harmful herbicides in fruits, vegetables, and their products.
A resource for teaching and research, WSU’s collection of insects, arachnids, and myriapods is the largest in Washington, expanding by tens of thousands of collected and donated specimens every year.
In a Nature paper, researchers detail a new method to anchor single atoms of platinum-group metals on nanometer-sized islands, allowing efficient use of these metals as catalysts for a variety of applications.
A WSU study showed that drone photography can be effective in estimating the number of redds — the rocky hollows salmon create to lay their eggs.
A WSU pilot study showed that a set of noninvasive home sensors could provide accurate information about sleep problems for people recovering from opioid use disorder.
A pair of federal grants will help researchers better understand and predict how infectious diseases behave and spread in health care settings and other small populations.
A new study on the diets of giant pandas and sloth bears adds more evidence that bears are omnivores like humans and need a lot less protein than they are typically fed in zoos.
