Physicists in the College of Arts and Sciences have made several important discoveries regarding the basic structure of mesons—subatomic particles long thought to be composed of one quark and one antiquark and bound together by a strong interaction. Recently, Professor…

Kristin Weeks, a junior in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences, may be from the tiny Western New York village of Akron, but this young woman has big dreams and huge goals. Weeks, who is ambitiously pursuing a triple…

Leave it to Karin Ruhlandt, newly appointed interim dean-designate of The College of Arts and Sciences, to put a global spin on things. In 1999, when the Department of Chemistry was retooling its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, the…

In the St. Lawrence River watershed, the recovery of the Blanding’s turtle and the golden-winged warbler is an important indicator for researchers assessing the viability of public-private partnerships to restore wetlands. Their work is providing answers to ensure conservation efforts in this region—and possibly beyond.

It turns out that blacks don’t use alcohol that much compared to other groups. Previous research shows that they start drinking later, and then don’t drink as much as whites, for example.

Earth scientists in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences have determined that the Tibetan Plateau—the world’s largest, highest and flattest plateau—had a larger initial extent than previously documented. Their discovery is the subject of an article in the journal…

Physicists in The College of Arts and Sciences have helped confirm the existence of exotic hadrons—a type of matter that cannot be classified within the traditional quark model. Their finding is the subject of a forthcoming article, prepared by the…

To say the competition for the 2014 International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) Research Grants was fierce would be a massive understatement. In fact, when the process began more than a year ago, 844 letters of intent were submitted…

The ongoing search for invisible dark matter is the subject of a recent article involving physicists from The College of Arts and Sciences. Research by Richard Schnee, assistant professor of physics, is referenced in Symmetry magazine, a joint publication of…

Chemists in The College of Arts and Sciences have, for the first time, created enzyme-like activity using peptides that are only seven amino acids long. Their breakthrough, which is the subject of a recent article in Nature Chemistry magazine (Macmillan…
