PULLMAN, Wash. – For almost two decades, Washington State University researchers Amit Bandyopadhyay and Susmita Bose have worked to improve the materials used in hip and knee replacements that up to a million people in the U.S. receive each year.

PULLMAN, Wash. – A couple months before you were born, your skeleton was soft and bendy. It was made out of cartilage, the same material that’s in your nose and ears now. But when certain cells in your body called osteoblasts and osteoclasts began to work together, new bone started to form.

PULLMAN, Wash. – A student team from Washington State University is in New York this week as one of 30 national finalists in NASA’s $2.5 million 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge to design an environment for Mars exploration using robotics and 3D printers.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University researchers have received support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to improve materials used in hip and knee replacements.

Susmita Bose, associate professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, has received the prestigious Karl Schwartzwalder-Professional Achievement in Ceramic Engineering (PACE) award from the American Ceramic Society’s National Institute of Ceramic Engineers.

According to the ceramic society’s website, the award recognizes the nation’s outstanding, young ceramic engineer whose work may have a significant impact on the profession and on American lives.

With the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering since 1998, Bose has focused her research on the development of nano-materials with spcial emphasis on nanoscale ceramics to improve bone implants. Because of its better bonding capability at the … » More …
