February 25, 2021 By Maegan Murray, WSU Tri‑Cities RICHLAND, Wash. – A professor with the Bioproducts, Sciences and Engineering Laboratory at Washington State University Tri-Cities is developing a way to drastically improve energy production at small waste water treatment plants. The research has the potential to be scaled globally. Birgitte Ahring, professor of biological systems engineering and chemical engineering, received a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for the project. She is partnering locally with the Walla ...

Montana-Designed Satellite Is Launched Almost all the space excitement this week has been on Mars, where the latest NASA rover, Perseverance, landed and started sending back incredible views, such as video of its landing - a film first. I say "almost," because a resupply launch to the International Space Station (ISS) Saturday, February 20, carried a little satellite designed and constructed by a team at Montana State University in Bozeman. A Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft lifted off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia and less than two hours later docked at the space...

NASA Launches Satellite Designed and Built by MSU Students Published: February 24, 2021 The Ionospheric-Thermospheric Scanning Photometer for Ion-Neutral Studies (IT-SPINS) mission proposes to provide the first two-dimensional (2D) tomographic imaging from a 3U research CubeSat, addressing the basic nature of the nocturnal ionosphere. This 6-month mission aims to strengthen our fundamental understanding for development of ion gradient structures in the topside of the Earth’s ionosphere and secondarily within regional phenomena such as equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) or polar patches.

Boise State News February 24, 2021 From the single falling snowflake to the terrifying power of an avalanche, snow is something that Boise State researchers take pretty seriously. It’s no wonder when one realizes that winter snowfall is responsible for about 70 percent of Boise and Idaho’s water supply. Globally, the world depends upon snowpack and snow melt for everything from hydropower to agriculture production. Snow is an integral part of successful economies, ecology, the environment, and for Boise State, education. “The Department of Geosciences at Boise State is one o...
