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.

Go, no-go: OAIRE's program could streamline weather data collection and consolidation

Tue, Sep 09, 2025

For most, a sudden change in the forecast might mean a forgotten umbrella, but for the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education, it could be catastrophic. As leaders in the unmanned aerial systems universe, weather plays an integral role in the day-to-day operations and success of the OAIRE team. As such, they constantly monitor weather data for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the feasibility of operating UAS at any particular place, date and time.

Raising the Grain: OSU Agriculture reinvents wheat for the future

Tue, Sep 09, 2025

In the past 25 years, OSU Ag Research’s wheat breeding program has kept stripe rust and leaf rust at bay in wheat crops with varieties like Gallagher, Smith’s Gold, Green Hammer, OK Corral and Paradox; created durable dual-purpose wheat with varieties like Endurance, Duster, Gallagher and Doublestop CL+; released varieties that offer tolerance to the grassy weed herbicide Imazamox (Doublestop CL+ and Orange Blossom CL+); and discovered an altered version of what is now one of the most important disease-resistant wheat genes in breeding programs across the world. OSU’s wheat team hasn’t stopped there.
