Molybdenum can recrystallize at room temperature instead of about 1,000°C—a diamond tip reshapes its crystal grains in tiny regions, but too much pressure makes the new grains disappear. @UofR @PNASNews https://t.co/MBkEJD3yzo

Can you push a laser to extreme intensity without destroying the optics?

URochester researchers discovered the answer with Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA)—and won a Nobel Prize for its revolutionary applications across fields.

Professor James McGrath from @UofRBME weighs in on the potential benefits of direct-to-consumer tests for detecting microplastics in water #ROC @UofR

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Amid skyrocketing public concern about the potential health risks of microplastics, some environmental labs are starting to sell tests that will allow consumers to check whether these tiny synthetic materials lurk in their drinking water. https://t.co/SOUOdACoeB

[Allison Lopatkin, PhD @AllisonLopatkin]

Huge congrats to Chauner for winning the poster prize in her category at @ChEnected, and for @NSF for making it possible to develop our educational modeling toolkits!

Read about their accidental discovery, what they originally thought they would find, and what future applications the technique could hold: https://t.co/74jHSCV076

[Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences @ur_engineering]

In a new study published in @PNASNews, esearchers from @UofR helped reveal a way to recrystallize the extremely heat-resistant metal molybdenum at room temperature, opening new possibilities for next-generation semiconductors. #URochesterResearch https://t.co/tJkkpAleN2

Generating images through tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini can cause a maddening problem: the image looks nearly perfect, but when you ask the AI to fix one small detail, it messes up something unrelated. @UofR and @nvidia researchers found a better way https://t.co/Vxp0nLQWTX

[Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences @ur_engineering]

The leadership team for the NSF STELLAR Engine will be guests on Connections with @evandawson on @WXXINews today at noon to talk about making the Rochester and Finger Lakes region the nation's leader in lasers https://t.co/kgeRbE28pW

Fascinating discovery by reachers including Xinyu Si, now a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at @UofR working with Professor Douglas Kelley #URochesterResearch

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

A study of brine shrimp just taught us something new about the mysterious rules of turbulence. The work has implications for our understanding of fluid dynamics, and may have applications in areas such as pollution control and drug design. Tune in to The Quanta Podcast: https://t.co/d2jFUQaI0B
