Thorndike made pathbreaking contributions to the study of matter.

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

Rochester is one of four NIH-sponsored centers that aims to produce tissue-on-chip devices as FDA-qualified drug development tools.

Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank explores the links between atmospheric oxygen and detecting extraterrestrial technology on distant planets.

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.

The findings can be used to design molecules with custom quantum coherence properties, laying the chemical foundation for emerging quantum technologies.

The new cooperative agreement between NNSA and the University builds on the laboratory’s significant scientific productivity and contributions to national security efforts.

Led by researchers from the University of Rochester, scientists from the international collaboration MINERvA have, for the first time, used a beam of hard-to-detect neutrinos to investigate the structure of protons.

Federal funding brings together experts to chart a viable path to realizing fusion energy as a clean power source.

“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.

A team from the Department of Physics and Astronomy has applied the theory of semantic information to a realistic model capturing attributes of living systems—and found the critical point where information matters for survival.
