Birds of a feather flock together?
Maria Castaño, a third-year PhD student in biology, studies populations of birds to understand the processes that lead to the creation of new species.
A laser that could ‘reshape the landscape of integrated photonics’
Rochester researchers see applications in LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), atomic physics, and augmented and virtual reality.
Ancient ocean methane not an immediate climate change threat
New research shows reservoirs of ocean methane in mid-latitude regions will not be released to the atmosphere under warming conditions.
Seed funding reflects how data science, AR/VR transform research at Rochester
The University’s Goergen Institute for Data Science supports collaborative projects across all disciplines.
Bioplastics made of bacteria can reduce plastic waste in oceans
A team of scientists, including biology professor Anne S. Meyer, is developing plastic materials that degrade in oceans.
Novel imaging system could mean near-instant biopsy results
The new imaging system developed by Michael Giacomelli, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and of optics, uses two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM).
Paper wasp parasites turn hosts into long-lived ‘zombies’
University of Rochester undergraduate students and their biology professor study what paper wasps—and the parasites that manipulate them—can tell us about evolution, aging, and group living.
Asteroid that formed Vredefort crater bigger than previously thought
Researchers have provided a more accurate simulation of the impact that formed Earth’s largest crater two billion years ago.
How do magnetic fields affect star formation and high-energy-density lab experiments?
Rochester researchers hope to explain how the fields occur in plasma instabilities
Rochester researchers go ‘outside the box’ to delineate major ocean currents
For the first time, University researchers have quantified the energy of ocean currents larger than 1,000 kilometers.
