In two experiments, Temple and Pitt researchers asked participants to repeatedly study pairs of items and scenes that were either identical on each repetition or in which the item stayed the same but the scene changed each time.
For the first time, the University of Pittsburgh cracked the Top 20 of the National Academy of Inventors' annual list of worldwide universities granted utility patents.
A civil engineer at the University of Pittsburgh is applying his expertise in bridges and infrastructure to develop new materials that better treat spinal injury, repair, and recovery.
LifeX, a Pittsburgh-based capital growth company, intends to use funding to accelerate tech entrepreneurship and make an impact on life sciences startup ecosystem locally and globally
People who endured childhood adversity, like abuse or neglect, were 12-25% more likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19 in adulthood, a new University of Pittsburgh study found.
Borrowing from neuroscience, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh will engineer neural networks for robots, giving them the ability to learn and improve their ability to navigate different terrains.
The Trauma and Transfusion Medicine Research Center (TTMRC) in the Department of Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is launching a $34 million, federally funded clinical trial to simultaneously test multiple interventions for life-threatening bleeding in at least 1,000 traumatically injured children across 20 U.S. pediatric trauma centers.
Relatively short-term use of immunosuppressant medications to control an inflammatory disease was not associated with an increased risk of later developing cancer, according to new research.
A team including University of Pittsburgh researchers uses computer modeling and new ways of employing enzymes to create never-before-seen amino acids.
A collaborative study found 800,000 tons of oil and gas waste with no records to match. Overall, poor records and a lack of monitoring are a barrier to truly understanding the local impact of immobilized waste disposal.
Pitt received $1 million to support four projects that advance new and ongoing translational research on aging. These studies have the potential to create novel products and technologies to improve health outcomes and reduce the burden of age-related problems.
Graham Hatfull has pioneered the use of bacteriophages, or just “phages,” to combat antibiotic resistant infections. He was honored with the Gardner Middlebrook Lifetime Achievement award for his research.
Dozens of children die each year in the U.S. while waiting for a new liver. A new analysis suggests that greater use of partial liver transplants — either from a living donor or by splitting a deceased donor’s liver for two recipients — could save many of these young lives.
When three prime-time TV medical dramas — “Grey’s Anatomy,” “New Amsterdam” and “Chicago Med” — coincidentally featured storylines about the dangers of youth vaping within a few weeks of each other, University of Pittsburgh social scientist Beth Hoffman, Ph.D., saw an opportunity to engage real-life adolescents in a discussion about electronic cigarettes.
Pitt unveils National Sports Brain Bank to track patients with contact-sports backgrounds; Steelers legends Jerome Bettis, Merril Hoge pledge brains and participation in innovative program.
Funding will establish the Western Pennsylvania Quantum Information Core, a cross-disciplinary effort that will position Pitt and its partners at the forefront of the field.
In a paper published today in Molecular Psychiatry, a team of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh in collaboration with researchers in Italy described shared patterns of sleep disturbances and irregularities in daily rhythms of rest and activity across patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, or SSD.
University of Pittsburgh researchers developed a novel approach that promoted bone regeneration in mice without implantation of bone tissue or biomaterials.
Historically oppressed communities are faced with compounded health, economic and social injustices – with climate change making them worse.
Swanson School of Engineering researchers develop self-sensing metamaterial concrete for smart infrastructure systems
New methodology and tools his team developed by phage expert Graham Hatful provides the opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail as a phage attacks a bacterium.
While most animals don’t learn their vocalizations, everyone knows that parrots do – they are excellent mimics of human speech. Researchers aim to add to what we know about animal vocal learning by providing the largest comparative analysis to date of parrot vocal repertoires.
A new study by Pitt mathematicians shows that math borrowed from neuroscience can describe how swarms of these unique insects coordinate their light show, capturing key details about how they behave in the wild.
University of Pittsburgh, Wexford Science & Technology partner to breathe new life of environmental sustainability into 100-year-old-plus Ford plant.
Pitt's Evan Schneider has won a Packard Fellowship Award. She is the first woman at Pitt to win the award and Pitt’s third winner since 1988. Using a GPU-powered code of her own design and the world’s fastest supercomputers, Schneider and her team simulate galaxies with greater clarity than ever before.
Theorists at the University of Pittsburgh and Swansea University have shown that recent experimental results from the CERN collider give strong evidence for a new form of matter. In a paper published online today in Physical Review D, physicists Tim Burns of Swansea in Wales and Eric Swanson at Pitt argue that their findings can be understood only if a new type of matter exists.
In a new publication, a team of biologists share their process for crafting a manual for field research that prioritizes safety for researchers from marginalized groups.
