Loading nanofiber sutures with vitamin D induces the production of an infection-fighting peptide, new research shows.

Applications are open for Oregon's top academic and professional fellowship program: The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's OMSI Science Communication Fellowship.

More than a month before a game-changing detection of a short gamma-ray burst – a finding announced today – scientists at Oregon State University predicted such a discovery would occur.

Australian paint supply company Derivan has turned YInMn Blue into a color for artists, ensuring that the beauty and artistic merits of the new color pigment will be discovered and enjoyed by many.

The vibrant YInMn blue pigment discovered at Oregon State University by chemist Mas Subramanian has been approved for commercial sale by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Research-funding agencies that require scientists to declare at the proposal stage how their projects will be “transformative” may actually be hindering discovery, according to a study by OSU ecologists.

OSU wins a 2017 WCET Outstanding Work award for groundbreaking, first-of-its kind 3-D Virtual Microscope and online introductory biology course series.

Michael Lerner has been selected as the new Head of the Department of Chemistry.
