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.

Filling the day with natural light and the night with true darkness for as little as a weekend can have a profound impact on our circadian rhythm.
Research shows storing solar energy for nighttime use increases both energy consumption and emissions compared with sending excess solar energy directly to the utility grid.
Electrical engineers at Duke University have created the world's first electromagnetic metamaterial made without any metal. The device's ability to absorb electromagnetic energy without heating up has direct applications in imaging, sensing and lighting.
A Vanderbilt research team created the world’s first steel-brass battery that can store energy at levels comparable to lead-acid batteries while charging and discharging at rates comparable to ultra-fast charging supercapacitors.
Princeton engineering researchers have illuminated another path forward for LED technologies by refining the manufacturing of light sources made with crystalline substances known as perovskites, a more efficient and potentially lower-cost alternative to materials used in LEDs found on store shelves.
