OSU research shows scale models effective for predicting storm damage to wood-frame buildings

CORVALLIS, Ore. – A pair of scale model structures subjected to simulated storm conditions in an Oregon State University lab responded like real wood-frame homes during recent hurricanes, suggesting model buildings can yield important design information for low-lying areas vulnerable to storm surges and big waves.

OSU cryptography research leads to huge efficiency gain in secure computing

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University researchers have developed a secure computation protocol that’s 25% more efficient than what had been thought the best possible, meaning future savings in time and energy costs for groups needing to team up on computations while keeping their individual data private.

Bipedal robot developed at Oregon State makes history by learning to run, completing 5K

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Cassie the robot, invented at Oregon State University and produced by OSU spinout company Agility Robotics, has made history by traversing 5 kilometers, completing the route in just over 53 minutes.

OSU College of Engineering research will save Port of Portland millions on runway work

PORTLAND, Ore. – Research by the Oregon State University College of Engineering will help the Port of Portland save as much as $35 million on work to ensure a Portland International Airport runway can survive an expected magnitude 8.0 to 9.0 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake.

Oregon State students test-fire high-altitude rocket motor, reach final eight in $1M challenge
