Researchers are making catalysts more efficient by designing nanoscale materials.
An innovative method of artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the reconstruction of a huge field of data, such as total ocean temperature, from a small number of field-deployable sensors utilizing low-powered “edge” computing, with extensive applications in industry, science, and medicine.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials-materials just a few atoms thick-can have special properties due to quantum mechanics.
Mengxia Liu, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, recently won the Packard Fellowship for her research on exploring foundational questions in energy carrier dynamics.
Biologist Himadri Pakrasi in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, who studies how cyanobacteria contribute to the chemistry of life, will lead a $5 million effort to develop technology to convert atmospheric nitrogen into fertilizer. Yinjie Tang and Yixin Chen in the McKelvey School of Engineering are co-investigators on the project.
