Rochester researchers are uncovering the unexpected role of grain shape in the mixing of granular systems such as pharmaceuticals, cereal, and landslides.

Techniques developed with the Laboratory for Laser Energetics’ OMEGA laser system hold promise for sparking fusion at larger scales.

Scientists outline new processes for leveraging hafnia’s ferroelectric features to enhance high-performance computing.

Using mechanical rather than statistical analysis, an international team of scientists offers a new framework for understanding the climate system.

Rochester scientists have developed deep-learning models that can sift through the massive amounts of data generated by X-ray diffraction techniques.

“We’ve combined the idea of a memristor and a phase-change device in a way that can go beyond the limitations of either device,” says Stephen Wu, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and of physics.

Before we turn the calendar to December, here’s a look back at some images captured in November across the University.

Faculty members work with industry advisors to modernize hands-on aspects of the department’s curriculum.

October brought fall in all its splendor to the University of Rochester. Take a brief look back at some favorite images from the past month.

The seemingly physics-defying properties of quasiparticles could be harnessed for applications ranging from non-destructive imaging to computer-chip manufacturing.
