The Science Newswise — Mesons are subatomic particles made of a quark and an antiquark that interact with the strong force. In this research, nuclear theorists used supercomputer calculations to accurately predict the distribution of electric charges in mesons. The predictions match well with measurements from low-energy experiments. They also apply to future high-energy experiments. The calculations helped validate a…
Newswise — REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 9, 2025 — The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute today announced that free registration to attend “AIAS 2025: the Chen Institute Symposium for AI Accelerated Science” on October 27-28th in San Francisco is now open at www.AIAS2025.org. Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Li Ka Shing Chancellor’s Chair in Biomedical…
Newswise — West Virginia University researchers are changing how college mathematics is taught by evaluating and sharing a model for problem-solving that supports what students learn in other courses like business or biology. The new model for teaching mathematics hinges on faculty from different departments collaborating in ways that transform the traditional mathematics syllabus. It’s…
Newswise — The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science has selected 79 PhD students from 56 universities and 29 states for the prestigious Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program. SCGSR prepares doctoral candidates for careers of critical importance to the Office of Science’s mission of transforming our understanding of nature and advancing…
Newswise — More than 2,000 students, representing 120 teams from across the United States, will participate in the 41st Annual Science Olympiad National Tournament at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln May 23-24. The competition includes rigorous knowledge-based, lab and engineering events in science, technology, engineering and math. Among the participants is a global ambassador team from…
Newswise — The Earth’s radiation budget—the delicate balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing radiation—plays a critical role in shaping climate patterns, ocean currents, and biological processes. Accurate assessment of shortwave radiation components is fundamental to climate models, yet traditional methods struggle with atmospheric complexities and sensor limitations. These challenges have driven the need for…
Newswise — This year’s Breakthrough Prize in fundamental physics goes to the thousands of scientists worldwide who for years have worked on four research projects – one partly founded by Université de Montréal – using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland. Awarded this month in Los Angeles, one-third of the U.S. $3-million prize honours…
Newswise — Florida Atlantic University has been recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Research (CAE-R) by the National Security Agency (NSA) and its partners in the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C). This prestigious designation, awarded through the academic year 2030, affirms the university’s leadership and innovation in the…
Newswise — Two University of Nebraska–Lincoln graduating seniors and a recent alumna have been offered 2025 Graduate Research Fellowships from the National Science Foundation. The program’s purpose is to help ensure the quality, vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who…
Masaki Kashiwara, a Japanese mathematician, received this year’s Abel Prize, which aspires to be the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in math. Dr. Kashiwara’s highly abstract work combined algebra, geometry and differential equations in surprising ways. The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, which manages the Abel Prize, announced the honor on Wednesday morning. “First…
