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.

A team of mechanical engineering students are creating a child-sized walker with an app to help a user communicate their needs based off of a prototype a local farmer made for his grandson.

Twelve small robots equipped with innovative defenses went head-to-head during the inaugural Crimson Bot Brawl, a display of creativity, teamwork and passion for action-packed robotic combat.

A liquid nitrogen spray developed by WSU researchers can remove simulated moon dust from a space suit, potentially solving a challenge for future moon-landing astronauts.

A WSU-developed 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.
