Turning corn colorful

Mizzou researchers are demonstrating that purple corn has surprising health benefits. Would you try it?

Using biowaste to create clean water

Mizzou Engineer Caixia “Ellen” Wan is filtering clean water using new materials created from lignocellulosic biomass waste.

Accelerating materials discovery

Mizzou Engineers are partnering with Arizona State University, Brewer Science and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), to increase the efficiency of materials development by using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to model and test new materials. Mizzou's research is supported by a $1.87 million grant, sponsored by Arizona State University.

Mizzou faculty member leads collaboration to empower a carbon bioeconomy

Susie Dai is using her background in chemistry and biology to inspire innovative approaches to add value to carbon dioxide to make diverse products as part of an NSF Engineering Research Center (ERC).

Mizzou Engineer receives AIChE Community Distinguished Service Award

Mizzou Engineering faculty member Reginald Rogers Jr. has been awarded the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Minority Affairs Community's Distinguished Service Award.

The patent puzzle

Mizzou researchers work with the Office of Technology Advancement to protect and promote their discoveries.

An important step forward in the future of self-health monitoring

Zheng Yan and a team of researchers at the University of Missouri have made a significant breakthrough in their ongoing development of an on-skin wearable bioelectronic device. The key feature: wireless charging — without batteries — through a magnetic connection.

Krishnaswamy earns CAREER Award for taking on the challenge of hidden hunger

More than 2 billion people suffer from hidden hunger, a form of malnutrition where individuals lack essential micronutrients — like vitamins and minerals — even though they consume what appears to be an adequate amount of calories. University of Missouri researcher Kiruba Krishnaswamy is focused on tackling this global challenge. She recently received a five-year, $532,000 Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) — the NSF’s most prestigious award for early-career faculty — in support of her project titled “FEAST (food ecosystems and circularity for sustainable transformation) framework to address hidden hunger.”

Algae-based manufacturing system uses CO2 to create eco-friendly plastic

Biodegradable plastics made from sustainable sources and CO2 are one step closer to reality thanks, in part, to a Mizzou Engineer’s expertise in bioprocesses and bioproducts.

New tool provides greater accuracy for medical biosensors

A team of researchers developed a new method using nanopores — a nanometer-sized hole — to help scientists advance their discoveries in neuroscience and other medical applications.
