Using a tabletop laser, University of Rochester optical scientists have turned pure aluminum, gold. And blue. And gray. And many other colors. And it works for every metal tested, including platinum, titanium, tungsten, silver, and gold.
A tiny, implantable device has pulled adult stem cells out of a living rat with a far greater purity than any present technique. The test of the device designed by Michael R. King, associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester, will be reported in the March 3 issue of the British Journal of Haematology.
Researchers at the University of Rochester believe they have just confirmed a controversial theory of evolution. The X chromosome is a strikingly powerful force in the origin of new species.
The team of mathematicians that first created the mathematics behind the "invisibility cloak" announced by physicists last October has now shown that the same technology could be used to generate an "electromagnetic wormhole."
Scientists at the University of Rochester and the J. Craig Venter Institute have discovered a copy of the entire genome of a bacterial parasite residing inside the genome of its host species.
Astronomers at the University of Rochester have discovered five Earth-oceans' worth of water that has recently fallen into the planet-forming region around an extremely young, developing star.
Even though the world's fish contain slight amounts of mercury, eating lots of commercial fish carries no detectable health risk from low levels of the substance, even for very young children and pregnant women, concludes a study published in JAMA.
Scientists have developed a new technology that sheds light on Alzheimer's disease at its origins, in the nerve cells throughout the brain that sicken and die. The team has taken the sharpest molecular snapshots yet of cells affected by the disease, simultaneously measuring the activity of 20 genes.
Countering summer blockbusters' claims that humanity's greatest threats are asteroids lurking in outer space, University of Rochester scientists have found an equal threat may lie roiling underfoot. They've linked the world's greatest mass extinctions to rock that originated near Earth's core and crept upward, lying in wait before dousing the planet with lava.
Medicines commonly used to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders appear to be effective at soothing the agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, according University of Rochester physicians.
What have women accomplished since the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls 150 years ago and what remains to be done? National leaders will answer these questions July 13 to 16 in upstate New York during a rare opportunity to continue the legacy of that first convention.
Experts in emergency medicine and ultrasound have teamed up at the University of Rochester to better one of the most vital tools in the paramedic's array of equipment: endotracheal tubes, the flexible tubes inserted in the throats of hundreds of thousands of unconscious patients each year to ensure continuous delivery of oxygen to their lungs. The new device, soon to receive a U.S. patent, takes advantage of the same ultrasound technology now used by physicians to observe babies developing in the womb.
At the same time top college hoopsters seek the national basketball crown this month, more than 700 of their fellow collegians will battle in a competition that's as intense, demanding, and grueling as anything in the NCAAs. For four days, from March 20 to 23, the forensic version of March Madness comes to the University of Rochester in western New York. Two-person rather than five-man teams will advance through eight preliminary debates and seven elimination rounds in their quest to be named the top college debaters in the country.
