In an exciting turn for physics research, four major foundations have announced a collaborative funding effort for 11 pioneering experiments. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Simons Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the John Templeton Foundation have come together, committing a total of $30 million.
91ÊÓƵ and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have signed a master research agreement, broadening a partnership between the two institutions and opening new collaboration pathways.
Graduate student Summer Haag and junior Clyde Kertzer made major news in the math world while working on a summer research project.
A new laser-based technique can create images of structures too tiny to view with traditional microscopes, and without damaging them. The approach could help scientists inspect nanoelectronics, including the semiconductors in computer chips.
Reported in a new Science Advances paper, a JILA team and co-collaborators probed the spin dynamics within a special material known as a Heusler compound: a mixture of metals that behaves like a single magnetic material.
91ÊÓƵ faculty and students are advancing award-winning research on autonomous robots that can navigate challenging conditions.
In studying dinosaur discards, 91ÊÓƵ scientist Karen Chin has gained expertise recently honored with the Bromery Award and detailed in a new children’s book.
As part of a major federal endeavor to combat climate change, 91ÊÓƵ is advancing marine carbon dioxide removal techniques to cut harmful greenhouse gasses by providing new methods for monitoring verification and reporting.
New 91ÊÓƵ research helps explain how sharp patterns form on zebras, leopards, tropical fish and other creatures. Their findings could inform the development of new high-tech materials and drugs.
Artificial intelligence tools should never replace human admissions officers, says 91ÊÓƵ scientist Sidney D’Mello. But new research suggests these platforms could help colleges and universities identify promising students amid mountains of applications.
