Bat cells could aid in fighting humans’ most deadly diseases
A team led by Washington State University molecular virologist Michael Letko has developed two new bat-derived laboratory cell lines, providing much-needed tools for studying how bats and their immune systems respond to these viruses.
Serendipitous discovery could lead to more efficient catalysts
Preparing catalysts by sending hot, steamy car exhaust over them could improve their efficiency and reduce the amount of rare and expensive metals required in vehicle catalytic converters and many other emission control and industrial processes.
Researchers recycle wind turbine blade materials to make improved plastics
A new method to recycle wind turbine blades without using harsh chemicals resulted in the recovery of high-strength glass fibers and resins that allowed Washington State University researchers to re-purpose the materials to create stronger plastics.
