A proposal to tackle the rising threat of antibiotic resistant “superbugs” was one of three projects that received funding as part of the most recent Cougar Cage event on Sept. 8.

A WSU research team has received a Department of Energy grant on a project to capture carbon dioxide from the air and mix it with hydrogen to create a carbon-negative liquid fuel.

A new generation of WSU engineers will learn not only how to build better robots but also how to make them work better with, and for, humans — thanks in part to a $3 million NSF grant.

Engineering Professor Susmita Bose and emeritus Veterinary Medicine Professor Terry McElwain were elected to the WSAS board of directors. Doug Call, professor of molecular epidemiology, was chosen as secretary.

From off of Earth to inside our bodies, the Washington State Magazine explores how WSU researchers are finding new uses for 3D printing, such as hip implants, simulated sharkskin, and parts made from extraterrestrial dust.

Researchers will partner with the Department of Defense Army Research Laboratory on a cooperative agreement for studies focused on materials used in extreme environments.

Taking a cue from the structural complexity of trees and bones, WSU engineers have created a way to 3D-print two types of steel in the same circular layer using two welding machines.

With four wings made out of carbon fiber and mylar as well as four light-weight actuators to control each wing, the Bee++ prototype is the first to fly stably in all directions.

Wangcheng Liu received a Washington State Research Foundation fellowship for his work turning post-consumer plastics into building blocks for environmentally friendly products.

WSU researchers will lead a $3.7 million Department of Defense grant to develop a unique microneedle system to treat common eye diseases.
