The funding will help researchers advance AI-powered medical imaging, develop new lubricants for longer lasting cars, catch cybercriminals and more.

Overuse of antibiotics are a major cause of the public health threat, but other chemicals that leak into the environment may be exacerbating the problem.

Karla Rosalia Sanchez Lievanos and Emmanuel M. Nsengiyumva will conduct research and outreach on ‘forever chemicals’ and carbon capture technology, respectively.

Buffalo Sewer Authority calls upon UB lava flow expert to improve wastewater treatment plant.

UB research finds that a Greenland glacier long expected to remain relatively stable in the face of climate change has previously undetected features that may indicate it is less stable than scientists have understood.

Stephan Kolzenburg studies where and how far lava will flow if a volcano erupts.

The new study finds the island was mostly ice free only 416,000 years ago and is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.

The discovery could help reduce the plant-based drug’s three-year production time; lead to less toxic alternatives.

For the second year in a row, UB ranks second among U.S. colleges and universities in climate action.

Project will focus on creating efficient, cheap, durable catalysts for hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks.
