In South Dakota, expansive and sulfate-rich soils can cause serious problems for civil infrastructure, like roads and bridges, and agriculture production. In certain climatic conditions, these expansive — or "problematic" — soils will crack and swell. A new National Science Foundation-backed project from South Dakota State University will explore if biofilms made from dental plaque can help improve the stability of problematic soils.

When it comes to undergraduate instruction in South Dakota State University's Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering, John VerSteeg, a Department of Mechanical Engineering faculty member, is consistently cited as being one of the students’ favorite instructors.

South Dakota State University has been selected to lead a research project that will analyze the racial and geographic disparities in mortality with end-stage renal (kidney) disease with a focus on Native American and Hispanic populations in South Dakota.

Can artificial intelligence tools help predict stock price movement and volatility? Two South Dakota State University researchers believe so.

Christopher Saunders, a professor of statistics at South Dakota State University, will serve as principal investigator on a project funded with a $612,286 grant from the United States Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice.

Since 1917, sulfur mustard has been used repeatedly in combat—with no known antidote available for treatment. Now, a new study from two South Dakota State University researchers has revealed an effective approach to treating sulfur mustard poisoning.

Now is a good time to be a respiratory therapist. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the important role that respiratory therapists play in our health. But right now, there’s a shortage of respiratory therapists in the nation, including in South Dakota.

Through a nearly $100,000 grant, the National Science Foundation has positioned South Dakota State University to help improve the nation's research enterprise. One of the NSF’s primary goals is to increase the United States' ability to conduct high-quality, impactful research.

Over the past two decades, the United States has been importing more and more avocados each year, underlining a growing obsession with the nutrient-dense fruit. Simultaneously, the U.S. and the rest of the world have been dealing with a growing environmental crisis spurred on by an overreliance on plastic. Could avocados — specifically avocado peels — provide a potential solution?

South Dakota State University engineering students used down-to-earth knowledge to design an out-of-this-world lunar transport vehicle which won them a NASA-sponsored contest. The ³ÉÈËÊÓƵ team was one of 15 teams selected as a finalist in NASA’S Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) competition.
