CLAS graduate researcher Ramachandra Bangari and associate professor Thomas Folland of physics and astronomy collaborated with researchers from McMaster University and Vanderbilt University on a new method for determining how ultrathin crystals are oriented, an important step toward understanding materials that could be used in future technologies. 

Ece Demir-Lira, associate professor in the UI Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and the study’s corresponding author, says combining words with hand gestures can be applied by parents and teachers alike.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used by social service agencies to handle cases involving child abuse, intimate partner violence, and elder abuse. But a CLAS researcher and former social worker says the agencies need to establish safeguards to ensure that AI technology does not lead to bias against vulnerable or disadvantaged populations.

Jason Robey researches what has driven major changes in the criminal justice system and how those lessons could help shape its future.

Called the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), physicists from Iowa and around the world have teamed up to detect neutrinos, elusive particles that may explain what makes up the universe and all that’s in it, including us.

Kaia Olsen's experimental research invites audiences to move through photographically captured events reconstructed as three-dimensional spaces, revealing new perspectives and possibilities for storytelling.

A planetary geologist from the University of Iowa is part of a team using one of NASA’s rovers on Mars that’s found the makings for precious gems like rubies and sapphires in the Martian soil.

In a new study, CLAS researchers demonstrate how the frontoparietal cortex handles uncertainty in decision-making and organizes and coordinates responses in the brain and body.

A new method developed by CLAS physicists could make magnetic field research more accessible to students, educators, and citizen scientists.

A University of Iowa-led research team has identified a new crocodile species that lived over 3 million years ago alongside early human ancestors like Lucy. Named Crocodylus lucivenator ("Lucy's hunter"), it had a distinctive lump on its head and would have been a predator of these early hominids in African rivers and lakes. The findings were published March 11 in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology.
