Students from McKelvey School of Engineering tour Urban Chestnut brewery and its large bioreactors. Beer is not the only product microbes will be producing in the future. Researchers from McKelvey will be developing a way to ensure fermentation is cost-competitive for making many forms of products. (Photo: Joe Angeles/WashU).

Up to $5.2 million in DARPA funds will enable WashU to develop new biomanufacturing capabilities

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are working on giving biomanufacturers a competitive edge by solving the challenge of continuous fermentation.

Global black carbon (BC) distribution from measurements and simulation using a widely used emission inventory. This map shows ground-level BC concentrations from SPARTAN measurements over 2019−2023, complementary measurements using original data screening scheme with a six-month sampling length criterion from adjacent years, and a GCHP simulation using the CEDS emission inventory for 2019.

The ubiquitous face masks discarded during the COVID-19 pandemic break down into microplastics and face further chemical changes, affecting its transport in aquatic environments. (Image: Generated in Adobe by Young-Shin Jun)

Sun exposure changes chemical fate of littered face masks

Masks physically degrade into nanoplastics but also chemically change with exposure to sunlight and metals in the surrounding environment.

Brennan honored by American Society for Engineering Education

Janie Brennan receives Ray W. Fahien Award for early career excellence in chemical engineering education.

LEAFF bioplastic packaging holds an apple slice. The original form of this fermented sugar-based plastic requires high temperature composting to degrade, but WashU’s engineers have a new form of this packaging that degrade into harmless organic material at room temperature. (Photo: Puneet Dhatt).

Leaf-inspired design brings bioplastics to the big leagues

Adding a layer of cellulose makes bioplastics biodegradable, and stronger.
