The Reconciliation Quilt, a famous piece thought to be the world-record quilt sold at auction, is a recent donation to the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
A team of chemists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have created the world's first plastic magnets.
The luminous green lasers in Herman Batelaan's laboratory are more than just pretty. They are the critical element in Batelaan's team becoming the first to observe the Kapitza-Dirac effect, the diffraction of a beam of particles by a standing wave of light.
Working with large-scale computer simulations, a team of scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln modeled four new kinds of crystalline ice, all by adjusting the diameter of a carbon nanotube by less than one-quarter of a nanometer.
Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln discovered that monsoon rains fell in a vast desert dunefield, and helped create the fabulous Navajo sandstone deposits in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and Wyoming.
Researchers studying the USS Arizona anticipate the release of the blockbuster movie "Pearl Harbor" will have a renewing effect on nostalgia and interest in the future of the sunken battleship.
It's not the "juiced ball," it's not cozy ballparks and it's not expansion that caused the explosion of offense in Major League Baseball in the 1990s. Rather, the root causes are a new, free-swinging hitting style, combined with a new relationship between hitters and pitchers, lighter bats and stronger players, two University of Nebraska-Lincoln historians report.
To biologists, they have been one of the most enigmatic groups of animals in the world. They're the parasitic horsehair worms of the phylum Nematomorpha. Until last year, no one had a clue about their life cycle, which has been unraveled by research to indicate a cyst carries the worm from larva to host.
Omega Eggs look, taste, and cook like regular white eggs. It's what's inside that's different. Omega Eggs are high in beneficial Omega 3 fatty acids and contain less saturated fat than conventional eggs. These eggs are produced by hens fed a patented diet that includes flax seed, a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Water turns to two-dimensional glass and shrinks under extreme pressure, temperature and confinement, researchers discover. (Nature, 11-30-00)
A group of University of Nebraska electrical engineers has patented a technique that produces quantum dots, tiny structures that are 10,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, but whose potential is staggering. In the next few decades, they could make binary computers obsolete and in a few years could make satellites safer from laser attacks.
University of Nebraska agronomists have zeroed in on what they believe is a single, major gene responsible for yield in wheat.
Scientists looking for evidence of the way New England's glacial Lake Hitchcock drained at the end of the last Ice Age found evidence of El Nino effects in New England's climate 17,500 to 13,500 years ago during the late Pleistocene era (Science, 5-12-00).
University of Nebraska-Lincoln veterinary science research is helping reveal how herpes viruses cause disease and perpetuate themselves in humans and is offering hope for new herpes vaccines and treatments (Science, 2-25-00).
A new genetic "fingerprinting" method developed by University of Nebraska food scientists is revealing surprising insights about potentially deadly E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria.
Slower-growing but more robust lawns and healthier rice plants with larger grains could be among the benefits of research results published in the Oct. 7 edition of Nature.
More than 265 transplant experts from around the world will be in Omaha Oct. 6 to 9 for the International Small Bowel Transplant Symposium hosted by the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Health System.
To explore the impact of technology on surveys and market research at the fourth annual symposium on surveys, sponsored by Gallup Organization and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 13-15, 2000.
The World premiere of an opera based on "O Pioneers!", Willa Cather's epic novel of life on the Nebraska prairie, will be presented on the Kimball Hall stage at University of Nebraska-Lincoln in November.
Researchers have created the world's first mouse model to explain how folic acid protects against human birth defects. This will enable researchers to understand how folic acid protects against birth defects such as neural tube defects and cleft lip and palate.
Entomologists operate the world's only screwworm research rearing facility at a USDA Agricultural Research Unit at the University of Nebraska.
DNA enzyme may be factor in natural mutagenesis and in process by which mutant bacteria are formed, according to a University of Nebraska-Lincoln scientist.
