“Metals usually remain metals; it is highly unlikely that they can then be changed back to an insulator,” says Ranga Dias, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and of physics and astronomy at Rochester. “The fact that this material goes from an insulator to a metal and back to an insulator is very rare.”

Researchers sequence viruses to answer questions such as whether a given variant is more or less dangerous and whether it increases risk for people, says Angela Branche, an assistant professor of medicine and codirector of the University’s Vaccine Treatment Evaluation Unit. “It’s meant to help us understand how quickly the virus changes itself and the current protection you get after you are infected,” Branche says.
Warner School of Education’s “Get Real! Science Sustainability Camp” wrapped up yesterday when young scientists shared findings from what they learned during the weeklong camp at Sodus Junior/Senior High School. The annual camp is led by April Luehmann, associate professor and director of the science teacher preparation program at the Warner School, and her camp colleagues. This summer, they guided middle school students in conducting scientific investigations, including a study of apples grown at different scales, navigating water tensions in Sodus, and survival with an ecological footprint perspective.
