AAU universities conduct a majority of the federally funded university research that contributes to our economic competitiveness, health and well-being, and national security. AAU universities are growing our economy through invention and innovation while preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers for global leadership. By moving research into the marketplace AAU universities are helping to create jobs, and provide society with new medicines and technologies.
UMD geologists uncovered evidence of a section of seafloor that sank into the Earth's mantle when dinosaurs roamed the Earth; it's located off the west coast of South America in a zone known as the East Pacific Rise.
Novel research supported by NCI could lead to more specific predictive disease models
A new University of Kansas study reveals parents seeking health care information for their children trust AI more than health care professionals when the author is unknown, and parents rate AI generated text as credible, moral and trustworthy.

Biologists at Brown University found what makes some types of tomatoes more heat tolerant, yielding insights that could help crops adapt to climate change.
Researchers from the George Washington University and the Washington VA Medical Center have published a landmark case report that signifies a potential breakthrough in the treatment of an aggressive type of prostate cancer.
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how certain cells can transform their function to help control blood pressure.
NYU researchers found that our brains can detect basic sentence structure in as little as 130 milliseconds, similar to how we quickly recognize visual scenes. This rapid processing ability allows the brain to grasp sentence structure almost instantaneously, even correcting minor errors, which may enhance our understanding of language comprehension in digital media contexts.
University of Kansas physicist Daniel Tapia Takaki and his team, working with CERN’s ALICE experiment, discovered evidence of gluonic quantum fluctuations within heavy nuclei, suggesting the presence of "gluonic hotspots" at the subnucleon level. This breakthrough, published in Physical Review Letters, provides new insights into the behavior of gluons, which are essential in forming visible matter, and marks a significant step toward understanding gluon saturation, a predicted state in quantum chromodynamics.
