Blurry, low-resolution images from security cameras or drones can throw hurdles at the efforts of law enforcement and military.

More than 50 years after scientists first coined the term "hydrogen economy," the movement to make hydrogen a predominant global fuel source could be gaining traction, thanks to research led by WVU engineer Xingbo Liu, professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
The 2021 West Virginia Social Survey, a representative survey of non-institutionalized adults in the Mountain State, found residents were more likely to report being worse off in 2021 compared to 2020. West Virginia adults were also more likely to think the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax compared to the United States adult population.
