Dr. Trent Watts, assistant professor in the department of English and technical communication at Missouri University of Science and Technology, recently published a book titled White Masculinity in the Recent South.

Dr. Kate Drowne, an associate professor of English and technical communication at Missouri University of Science and Technology, has recently been granted a non-residential fellowship at Harvard University to extend her research on the flapper figure in American literature.

Steel castings used in critical military applications can now be quickly analyzed to help improve the metal's strength and performance thanks to researchers at Missouri S&T. The university recently purchased a metal analyzer that tests for non-metallic particles, called inclusions. Inclusions can reduce the durability of a metal part, which could lead to a shortened part lifespan in critical components, such as armor and canons.

Several glass containers filled with algae-stained water sit on a table in Dr. Paul Nam's laboratory at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Next to the big green bottles are two much smaller vials. One of the vials, labeled "biodiesel," contains a mostly clear solution. Nam picks up the other vial, labeled "algae oil," and gives it a shake. A small amount of dark liquid swishes around.

Managing power networks in the future may involve a little more brain power than it does today, if researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology succeed in a new project that involves literally tapping brain cells grown on networks of electrodes.
