Zwicky Transient Facility observations reveal surprising transformations from sleepy LINER galaxies to blazing quasars within months.

The award recognizes Wang’s research in fundamental chemistry and advanced materials, which led to development of a textile that automatically regulates heat exchange with the environment.

The discovery by UMD researchers suggests “functional mosaicism” could explain some antibiotic resistance and cancer relapse.

Senior Justin Lee helps curate the Smithsonian’s collections of amphibians and reptiles from Myanmar and publishes his findings along the way.

A Q&A with ESSIC’s Santiago Gassó, who spent a month at sea teaching remote sensing to graduate students from around the world.

UMD researchers discovered that telomerase, which “immortalizes” cancer cells, also prevents tumors and slows a key stage in normal cell death.

Jackson serves as the department’s executive director of administrative services.

Accessible to all UMD researchers, students and collaborators, the new microscope will provide higher resolution and more speed while being gentler on live samples.

UMD-led team re-examined data from a 2016 gamma-ray burst and found a signature that perfectly matches a gold- and platinum-producing explosion observed by LIGO in 2017.

The new research center will catalyze the development of high-impact quantum technologies.
