A $15.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation was recently awarded to a flagship UW-Madison interdisciplinary research center focused on material science.
Science outreach figures are practically heroes in a time when the president has given the finger to the Paris Agreement and the Flat Earth Society is gaining traction on social media. However, these icons of logic are not experts in every conceivable area, and I caution against taking their word as gospel, even if they’re these people:
UW-Madison’s Physical Sciences Laboratory, located more than 10 miles off campus and surrounded by cornfields, is a world-renowned engineering facility that’s been turning out state-of-the-art projects for half a century.
The Physical Sciences Laboratory, now 50 years old, has handled more than 6,000 research projects.
Where does pepperoni come from?
As the field of medicine expands, so too does the field of public health. Public health is the marriage of health and community. It studies how the community and environment influence the quality of life or the people who live there.
Why do we crave crunchy foods?
The human genome is like a blueprint which lays out how each of us are built, how we function in society and sometimes even how we die. The rapidly-expanding field of genetics encompasses everything, from the nucleotides that write the code to the way we treat one another.
Like an inoperable tumor inside a patient’s brain, cancer has rooted itself deep within our society. Unfortunately, the current treatments of cancer are almost as unpredictable as the disease itself. But what if the key to fighting this ominous disease has been waging war inside our bodies all along? That is the question put forth by the field of cancer immunotherapy, a cancer treatment that utilizes the body’s own immune system. It is the research topic for Kenneth DeSantes, pediatric oncologist and hematologist at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
In a week, one of the summer’s most hotly anticipated events will arrive, as Americans everywhere finalize plans to travel to a 70 mile wide strip of land stretching from Oregon to South Carolina.
Where did the moon come from?
The Badgerloop team unveiled their latest pod on June 17 in the Engineering Hall to the public. This coming August, they will take their pod and travel to Hawthorne, California to compete in the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition II.
Drug discovery and fungi have gone hand in hand since pharmacology emerged as a relevant science. As the decades have passed, it has become apparent to scientists that there is an untapped well of potentially useful chemicals that are naturally produced by the millions of fungal species on Earth. Chemicals such as these—that aren’t necessary for survival but often provide an evolutionary advantage to the organism—are known as secondary metabolites by microbiologists. These chemicals, the “armor and weapons” of fungi according to Nancy Keller, professor of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at UW-Madison, are responsible for some of the most effective drugs used today including antibiotics, antivirals, cancer drugs and cholesterol lowering drugs.
Where do beaches come from?
After much anticipation for protests during a speech by controversial libertarian political scientist Charles Murray Wednesday, the only disturbance came from a brief fire alarm.
Scientists and engineers at UW-Madison developed an economically feasible process to synthesize a possible substitute for petroleum-derived chemicals from non-edible biomass.
How did we get here? This is one of the most deep-seated questions in the human race. It is also David Baum’s, exobiologist in the department of botany at UW Madison, research.
UW-Madison students Nyal Mueenuddinn and Mattie Naythons premiered their documentary, "Break the Cycle," which delves into mass incarceration and food injustice, in Science Hall Friday.
Erik Vance had always loved the ocean, but he couldn’t find a way to create a lasting impact on ocean health. That changed after he began his career as a science writer.
In the fourth episode of Sciencecast: Energy Series, Paul Wilson, Grainger professor of Nuclear engineering in the Department of Engineering Physics, discusses nuclear energy. Describing nuclear power from process to policy, Wilson dispells some misconceptions about nuclear energy's safety and environmental friendliness.
