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.

Neural prosthetic devices implanted in the brain's movement center, the motor cortex, can allow patients with amputations or paralysis to control the movement of a robotic limb—one that can be either connected to or separate from the patient's own limb. However, current neuroprosthetics produce motion that is delayed and jerky—not the smooth and seemingly automatic gestures associated with natural movement. Now, by implanting neuroprosthetics in a part of the brain that controls not the movement directly but rather our intent to move, Caltech researchers have developed a way to produce more natural and fluid motions.
One illustrious career in computer sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison can be traced to an anxious mother, a cocktail party conversation, and a “dead boring” job — plus a fascination with low-level machine code, a subject that many computer scientists disdain.
A new study by UCLA's Luskin Center for Innovation presents a survey and maps of the drinking water systems that serve Los Angeles County based on in-depth system-level profiles of water sources, service population characteristics and built environments.
