University of Rochester scientists set out to explain how—and how much—in order to improve future experiments.

A popular science fiction idea in TV shows like Amazon’s The Expanse, Rochester scientists are using physics and engineering principles to show how asteroids could be future viable space habitats.

First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation.

The recipients of this years Goergen Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching all have reshaped departmental programs focused on experiential learning.

The engineering professor draws from his vast experiences in the workplace to teach problem-solving mindsets.

Rochester researchers hope to explain how the fields occur in plasma instabilities

For the first time, University researchers have quantified the energy of ocean currents larger than 1,000 kilometers.

Established in 1997, the award recognizes distinction in undergraduate teaching among faculty in Arts, Sciences & Engineering.

Six Rochester researchers have received the National Science Foundation’s most esteemed recognition for early-career faculty members.

Rochester researchers will cut through excess data to speed the search for new materials.
