The University of Wisconsin-Madison is home to the Plasma dynamo experiment led by physics professor Cary Forest and his colleagues. This experiment has been designed to study plasma physics, which is the study of plasma state of matter. Plasma is a matter different from solids, liquids and normal gases in that it is a highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons and neutral particles.
Despite the frigid weather, many of us are thrilled to be back from break. While we enjoyed being home, it was certainly time to come back with friends. Then, the weekend ends and classes begin once again. The evening before, make sure to set multiple alarms for a bright and early in the morning. I’m sure many of you, like myself, have to set at least three alarms, including one that rings more than 30 minutes before you actually need to get out of bed. When that third alarm goes off, everyone rubs their eyes as they look at the clock. Slowly, sliding out of bed, we know that if we don’t get up now, it’ll be embarrassing to be the student who walks into lecture late. Nothing is worse than the entire room, including the professor, staring, as you stroll in slowly, in the sweats that you pulled off of your floor.
Impulsivity —a tendency to act without forethought—is one of the defining characteristics of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. Impulsive people struggle with waiting for rewards, or taking delayed gratification. Thus, they have trouble successfully setting and achieving long-term goals.
Dane County Humane Society is a non-profit organization with a mission to help both animals and people to learn how to assist animals in need.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank attended a White House conference Thursday with the goal of improving higher education accessibility for low-income students.
Artificial Intelligence is defined as the ability for a machine such as a computer to perform functions analogous to learning and decision making. This past summer undergraduates Anjali Narayan-Chen and Liqi Xu taught the computer how to play Angry Birds. Angry birds is a popular game where using a slingshot, the player shoots wingless birds to kill pigs. And like other games, there are several levels of difficulty, different sizes and colors of birds, and different obstacles. With each game, new birds and special abilities can be activated by the player.
Dear Mr. Scientist,
It’s finally arrived. The week everyone waits for all year is upon us. No, I’m not talking about E3—it’s Video Game Awards week on Spike! Sometimes on warm summer nights, I wake up in a cold sweat just thinking how far away the prime video game awards show is. My body defies science purely out of excitement.
Amidst declining federal grants and other threats to research funding, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has continued to top the charts in its research expenditures.
Four University of Wisconsin-Madison professors are among 338 academics receiving the prestigious “fellow” designation from a national science association.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., hosted a press conference Thursday through Twitter to give students a chance to ask her questions about national political issues.
UW students pose during the shooting of biochemistry graduate student Ambalika Khadria’s interpretive dance video which has made it through to the finals of “Dance Your PhD,” an international competition sponsored by Science Magazine.
On a cold, windy Sunday afternoon in September this year, the ground floor lobby of Union South was filled with students discussing homework and munching pizza. However just two floors above, a dance group in the Northwoods room was getting their groove on. As the minutes ticked by, a crew member yelled, “Only five minutes to go, guys. Let’s shoot the final sequence.” A single take, and it was over!
Have you ever had a concussion or any other head-related injury resulting in a permanent or temporary change in cognition? Concussions and other Traumatic Brain Injuries are one of the most serious public health problems in the United States. TBIs occur when a force to the head causes the brain to strike the inside of the skull resulting in swelling and sometimes even bleeding in the brain. These injuries are extremely common in falls, car accidents and many sports-related injuries.

Invasive species are one of the most important issues facing aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems today. No self-respecting ecologist would say otherwise.
A step toward advancement in regenerative medicine by improving the commonly used gene repair technique was made possible by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Morgridge Institute for Research and Northwestern University.
