Wind tunnel testing of hypersonic aircraft and spacecraft capable of reaching speeds of Mach 5 or higher can be drastically affected by “noise” created at the tunnel wall. Lian Duan, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is working to improve the reliability of data collected in those tests.
Sriram Chellappan, assistant professor of computer science at Missouri S&T, tracked the Internet usage of 69 college students over a two-month period and found a correlation between certain types of Internet usage and other addictive behaviors.
Missouri S&T researchers are using small, porous glass scaffolds like these to regenerate bone.
The high conductivity of germanium nanowires makes them ideal for use in lithium-ion batteries, but germanium is expensive to process. Jay A. Switzer, the Donald L. Castleman/Foundation for Chemical Research Professor of Discovery at Missouri S&T, has developed a simple, less-expensive method to grow them.
As one of the world’s leading technological research universities, Missouri University of Science and Technology is nationally recognized for its research and scholarship.
Our faculty, staff and alumni have been at the forefront of many of the world’s greatest achievements, including the world’s first trans-Atlantic telephone call, Doppler radar, the Apollo 11 moon landing and the creation of Twitter.
World-changing research occurs every day at S&T. Key research areas include biomedical science and engineering, civil infrastructure, energy research and development, environmental research, intelligent systems, materials research, and rock mechanics and explosives. Missouri S&T’s interdisciplinary approach to research involves students working alongside world-class faculty in a variety of fields – from the sciences and engineering to the humanities, business and the liberal arts.
As Missouri’s leading science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) public university, Missouri S&T researchers focus on our state’s areas of need first and foremost, including electrical and cyber systems, energy, the environment, manufacturing, materials and civil infrastructure.
This future-focused research will be carried out in S&T’s four signature research areas – Advanced Manufacturing, Advanced Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure, Enabling Materials for Extreme Environments and Smart Living – which align with the university’s strategic plan.
