Did William Shakespeare write "King Lear" as an object lesson for England's King James? A Shakespeare expert at the University of Missouri-Rolla thinks so, and also believes the play was first performed before King James' court, rather than at the Globe Theater.
Poplar trees may offer an eco-friendly solution to removing contaminants from soil and water, says an environmental engineer at the University of Missouri-Rolla.
Six years ago, Rex Widmer couldn't find a taker for his software analyzer of dinosaur computer code. But now, with everyone fretting about the Y2K computer bug, Widmer's Portfolio Analyzer is a hot commodity.
Recruiters at the University of Missouri-Rolla are using instant messaging chat programs such as ICQ and America Online's Instant Messenger to recruit students over the Internet.
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla are developing an intelligent computer system that will improve the efficiency of fingerprint identification methods used by governmental agencies, financial institutions and other high-security organizations.
A University of Missouri-Rolla professor's recently patented process for evaluating every phase of a product's development -- from conception to marketing -- should mean big savings to AT&T, Paradyne and other companies.
The adage that "oil and water don't mix" forms the basis for a newly patented bubble separation process that removes impurities from medicines and agricultural chemicals.
For college recruiters and admissions directors, the Internet's "killer application" may not be the World Wide Web or online application forms, but instant messaging programs that allow recruiters to engage in one-on-one Internet chats with potential students.
It isn't the typical Band-Aid approach to solving infrastructure problems, but new lightweight materials that can be wrapped like a bandage around deteriorating concrete beams and columns may become a cost-effective solution to ailing roads and bridges.
When a University of Missouri-Rolla history professor volunteered to host a radio program on bluegrass music 15 years ago, he had no idea it would lead to a publishing career. Now that professor is also the publisher of "Bluegrass Now" magazine.
The jet engine of the future could be made of materials that are more like plastics than steel, if studies at the University of Missouri-Rolla find that these new materials can hold up under extreme changes in temperatures and other conditions.
Rolla, Mo. -- Recent tests of steel from the Titanic reveal that the metal was much more brittle than modern steel but the best available at the time, a metallurgical engineering professor at the University of Missouri-Rolla says in a paper to be published in the January 1998 issue of Journal of Metals.
Electrical engineers at the University of Missouri-Rolla -- working with private computer companies -- are creating a software program to keep electromagnetic glitches out of the printed circuit boards used in computers, automotive parts and other electronic products.
A University of Missouri-Rolla student's design is helping small-engine maker Briggs & Stratton realize big savings in its die-casting operations.
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Rolla are taking a watergun, rather than shotgun, approach to rid the world of land mines. As part of a five-year, $5 million Department of Defense project, researchers are using high-pressure waterjets to develop a device that detects, clears and neutralizes land mines. The same technology has been used to construct an amphitheater beneath the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
The University of Missouri-Rolla is leading a team of five universities in a five-year project to develop new methods to detect and neutralize the concealed land mines that currently endanger the populations of more than 60 nations. Research includes the use of sound waves, ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic pulses, robotic vehicles and shooting streams of water underground to look for and "float" the mines to the surface.
