Sougata Roy and his DREAM-TEAM collaborators are studying 3D printing as an alternative way to process tungsten for use as shields and other components in nuclear reactors. The project is supported by a new, $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Iowa State's Valery Levitas and his collaborators have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that feature different and potentially useful properties.
A research team led by Iowa State's Zhaoyu Wang will study electric vehicle charging stations with a goal of developing strategies and technologies to keep the chargers operating, even when storms hit and the power goes out.
A new USDA-supported project based at Iowa State University will create an encyclopedia of livestock species' genetic regulatory regions, a DNA netherworld that could be useful in breeding for improved animal efficiency and health.
An Iowa State University research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell transfusions to treat blood disorders. The promising advancement in regenerative medicine could eliminate the need for bone marrow transplants.
A research team led by Iowa State's Qi An has developed artificial intelligence technology that could find ways to improve researchers鈥� understanding of the chemical reactions involved in ammonia production and other complex chemical reactions.
The economic impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome increased 80% between 2010 and 2020, costing the pork industry more than $1 billion per year in lost production, according to a new study. Researchers say improved biosecurity is essential to reversing the mounting losses.
As we use electricity to power more and more -- everything from vehicles to lawn mowers -- it's getting harder for utilities to manage the distribution transformers that are in every neighborhood. Iowa State's Zhaoyu Wang is leading an effort to develop a system that will help utilities maintain the important links between the power grid and homes, farms and businesses.
A new study by a broad team of researchers at Iowa State University鈥檚 College of Veterinary Medicine helps explain why dairy cows infected by highly pathogenic avian influenza are shedding the virus in their milk. Their findings could help develop biosecurity measures aimed at slowing the spread of the illness.
Matthew Panthani and his research group are developing new materials that allow semiconductors to emit light. The resulting integrated photonic circuits could make computers, phones and other electronics faster and more energy efficient. The National Science Foundation is supporting the work with a $552,000 grant.
An innovative collaboration merges Iowa State University鈥檚 research and 3D-printing facilities with a private design firm鈥檚 digital tools and vision to create an outdoor seating space to be installed this summer at the new Rudd Public Library. The old Rudd library was destroyed by a tornado in December 2021.
A new course this spring, "Field Observations of Thunderstorms," took 13 Iowa State students and their three instructors across "Tornado Alley" for eight days. They found storms, collected data and shared information with national forecasters. It all could have been straight out of the 1996 movie 鈥淭wister鈥� or this summer鈥檚 sequel, 鈥淭wisters.鈥�
A widely found gene in plants has been newly identified as a key transporter of a hormone that influences the size of corn. The discovery offers plant breeders a new tool to develop desirable dwarf varieties that could enhance the crop鈥檚 resilience and profitability.
Results from an Iowa State University pilot study indicate three months of exercise benefits vascular health, but improving brain blood flow may require more time.
A team led by Iowa State researchers is one of the first recipients of advanced computing support from the new National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot. The team will use one million "node hours" on a supercomputer to develop large, vision-based artificial intelligence tools to identify agricultural pests.
Researchers at Iowa State University have identified two genes that can help rice defend itself against diseases, including the devastating fungal blast pathogen that regularly causes significant losses of rice production worldwide.
The U.S. Department of Energy is awarding researchers a $2.5 million grant to establish a cybersecurity center based at Iowa State University. The center will develop technology to protect power grids from cyberattacks and strengthen the grid industry's security workforce.
AI provides a new lens to bridge science and practice in crop breeding research, said Iowa State University agronomy professor Jianming Yu, one of the world鈥檚 top-ranked scientists in the fields of quantitative genetics and plant breeding.
