Renowned composer Philip Rothman will join Patrick Jones, director of the Rose, Jules R. and Stanford S. Setnor School of Music in Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA), on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 12:30 p.m. for “Conversations…

Art historian James Elkins and science historian Michael Lynch will headline the first installment of “IMAGES? Precisely!,” a new lecture series presented by The Syracuse University Humanities Center. The multimedia program, which is free and open to the public, is…

The School of Information Studies (iSchool) and its Center for Digital Literacy (CDL) have been awarded a National Leadership Grant for $190,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).  The two-year grant, titled “Investigating Self-Determination Variables in Summer…

In solid materials with regular atomic structures, figuring out where the material will break under stress is relatively easy. But for disordered solids, like glass or sand, their disordered structure makes such predictions a more daunting task. A collaboration of…

“Preparing Students for the Changing Role of Orchestral Musicians in the 21st Century” will be the topic of a conversation led by Daniel Hege and Patrick Jones of the Rose, Jules R. and Stanford S. Setnor School of Music in…

Radhakrishna Sureshkumar, professor and chair of biomedical and chemical engineering in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, and professor of physics, has developed a patent-pending robust process to manufacture stable suspensions of metal nanoparticles capable of capturing…

SRC, Inc., formerly Syracuse Research Corp., and Syracuse University have announced the establishment of the SRC/Syracuse University Faculty Immersion Program.

They can be found everywhere—organized communities of bacteria sticking to surfaces both inside and outside the body. These biofilms are responsible for some of the most virulent, antibiotic-resistant infections in humans; however, scientific understanding of how these communities develop is…

A discovery by a team of researchers led by a Syracuse University physicist sheds new light on how the vision process is initiated. For almost 50 years, scientists have believed that light signals could not be initiated unless special light-receptor…

With every bodily movement—from the blink of an eye to running a marathon—nerve cells transmit signals to muscle cells. To do that, nerve cells rely on tiny molecular motors to transport chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that excite muscles cells into action….
