Adaptive Optics Astrometry for Black Hole Science
Black holes are one of the most exotic phenomena in astrophysics and represent a breakdown in fundamental physics between gravity and quantum mechanics. At the center of our Galaxy...
A Multi-Level Intervention to Promote Healthy Beverage Intake through Childcare
PROJECT SUMMARY There is little debate that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs; drinks with added sugar) lack nutrition, are a major source of added sugar and calories, and promote ob...
Collaborative Research: Microscopic mechanisms and kinetics of laser-induced phase explosion
“Explosive boiling” or “phase explosion” occurs when a massive number of vapor bubbles nucleate in a superheated liquid. This phenomenon is relatively common and plays a key role i...
Quantum Computing with Cs Atoms in a 3D Optical Lattice
Quantum computers are built around quantum bits, or qubits. Unlike classical bits, which can be either 0 or 1, qubits can be in quantum superpositions of these two states. Furtherm...
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: Identifying the Dielectric Properties of Liquid-Metal Polymer Composites to Ensure the Dielectric Integrity of Deformable Electronic Applications
Nontechnical SummaryBioelectronics and soft robotics require electronic materials that function while being stretched or compressed. Composites of soft polymers with metals that ar...
AMS Professorship award for Professor Jordi Diaz Manera, Newcastle University
In my career I have combined clinical research, improving the diagnosis of patients, with basic research, exploring the mechanisms of genetic muscle diseases. I am now at a point o...
Examining the use of micro-internships to leverage scalable learning for STEM workforce development among people experiencing homelessness
Researchers at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Southern Methodist University will investigate the efficacy of a Work-Learn model for providing individuals experiencing home...
