Helping teens channel stress, grow in resilience
Psychologists have developed a tool to help teens turn everyday stressors that could lead to anxiety and depression into a positive force instead.

‘Supergene’ wreaks havoc in a genome
Rochester biologists have for the first time used population genomics to study a selfish ‘supergene’ known as Segregation Distorter (SD) that skews genetic inheritance.

How the brain interprets motion while in motion
New findings about how the brain interprets sensory information may have applications for treating brain disorders and designing artificial intelligence.

Quest for elusive monolayers just got a lot simpler
Compared to long, tedious hours of scanning by undergraduates, a breakthrough technology can detect monolayers with 99.9 percent accuracy—in far less time and at a fraction of the cost.

Gene regulation may hold clue to longer life
Rochester biologists who study the genetics of lifespan suggest new targets to combat aging and age-related diseases.

Laser bursts drive fastest-ever logic gates
By clarifying the role of “real” and “virtual” charge carriers in laser-induced currents, researchers at Rochester and Erlangen have taken a decisive step toward creating ultrafast computers.

How can we be sure machine learning is accurate?
Rochester researchers have developed a new “counterfactual” method to verify predictions of drug safety.

A ‘cautionary tale’ about location tracking
A new study out of the University of Rochester shows that data collected from your acquaintances and even strangers can predict your location.

Researchers continue to confront major hurdles in quantum computing
With new insights on the problem of noise in quantum computing, Rochester researchers make major strides in improving the transfer of information in quantum systems.
