Scientists have discovered a new way to investigate the structure of protons using neutrinos, known as ‘ghost particles.’ Neutrinos are one of the most abundant…
On February 6, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented a ban on the sale of many flavored e-cigarettes, with some exceptions. However,…
Trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s life. Recent research has shed light on how traumatic events can alter the physical structure of…
First-of-its-kind experimental evidence contradicts traditional theories about the emission and absorption of radiation by plasmas. While solids, liquids, and gases are familiar states of matter,…
University of Rochester scientists show how asteroids could be future viable space habitats using physics and engineering principles. During this past year, Jeff Bezos launched…
An important molecular link between lung tumor growth and disrupted circadian rhythms has been uncovered by scientists. The discovery is presented in a new paper…
Researchers at the University of Rochester have created a more accurate simulation of the impact that created the Vredefort crater two billion years ago. An…
A recent University of Rochester research demonstrates a possible substitute for opioids for post-dental extraction pain. Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Eastman…
New paleomagnetic research suggests Earth’s solid inner core formed 550 million years ago and restored our planet’s magnetic field. Swirling liquid iron in the Earth’s…
Biologists from University of Rochester used population genomics to study a selfish ‘supergene’ that skews genetic inheritance. “Selfish genetic elements” litter the human genome. They…
Researchers from the University of Rochester who are interested in longevity genetics propose new targets to fight aging and age-related disorders. Mammals that age at vastly…
For some people, walking can boost brain function For a very long time, people have believed that when walking and a task are combined, both…
Researchers have taken a decisive step toward creating ultrafast computers. A long-standing quest for science and technology has been to create electronics and information processing…
In the search for Earth-like planets, University of Rochester scientist Miki Nakajima turns to computer simulations of moon formations. Earth’s moon is vitally important in…
Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank discusses why cognitive activity operating on a planetary scale is necessary to tackle global issues such as climate change. The collective…
Researchers at University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics for first time distill novel interferometry into a photonic device. University of Rochester researchers for the first…
Thin-film nanophotonic device could advance metrology, sensing, and quantum networks. The engineers have achieved unprecedented bandwidth and brightness on chip-sized nanophotonic devices. Quantum entanglement—or what…
University of Rochester psychologists find that college students who reinterpret their stress response as performance-enhancing are less anxious and generally healthier. Sweaty palms during a…
