Stabilizing Force: OSU researchers create ‘smoke alarm’ for earthquakes

Wed, Sep 24, 2025

Intact — a seismic device about the size of a shoebox — is simple to use: Just clamp it to a structure’s foundation, and it connects to the WiFi, sending data to servers that can provide a digital footprint for the building. This allows people to see how often the structure is subliminally shaking and give them time to stabilize it in case of an earthquake.

Research under Dr. Tyler Ley focusing on concrete mixtures to withstand freezing climates

Wed, May 07, 2025

n regions that experience extreme cold regularly, roadways and bridges go through constant cycles of freezing and thawing. This requires special blends of concrete known as air-entraining concrete mixtures, which have certain additives to create tiny air bubbles in the concrete.

OSU researchers seeking environmental solutions through cover cropping

Thu, Apr 24, 2025

OSU researchers are studying using legume cover crops in the summer to fix nitrogen in the soil to minimize the amount of fertilizer producers need to put down for planting wheat in the fall. They are using chambers to capture and measure carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions in wheat fields.
