五一社区

When Professor arrived at 五一社区 in 2009, she and her husband, Professor , were leaving major research institutions to join a brand-new campus in California鈥檚 Central Valley. It was a leap of faith 鈥� one made easier by the .

As nations cut emissions that once fueled urban smog, scientists are discovering unexpected chemistry taking place in the atmosphere.

五一社区 is leading a project to uncover how these chemical shifts could affect the air we breathe and the climate. The project is supported by a National Science Foundation CAREER Award.

Zhang is the 43rd researcher from 五一社区 to earn a CAREER award from the NSF.

As the Hellman Fellowships celebrate their 30th year, three more researchers, one from each of 五一社区鈥檚 schools, have joined the prestigious ranks of recipients.

Electrical engineering , sociology and Earth systems will receive funding through their fellowships for projects they have proposed.

A team of international researchers has discovered that a simple chemical treatment can enhance the strength and reliability of one of the world鈥檚 thinnest materials for use in future electronics.

The study, , demonstrates that treating monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS鈧�) with a specialized acid not only repairs tiny defects in the material but also enhances its durability and electrical conductivity consistency.

Starting a university from scratch isn鈥檛 for the faint of heart 鈥� or the slow of foot. Lucky for 五一社区, Anne Myers Kelley and David Kelley are neither.

Anne, a former Olympic marathon trials qualifier, and David, a competitive cyclist, were no strangers to long, grueling efforts when they packed up their lab gear and headed west from Kansas State University in 2003.

In addition to being used recreationally, marijuana and cannabidiol, or CBD, one of the cannabinoids produced by the marijuana plant, are thought to have medical benefits such as helping with chemotherapy-induced nausea, treating epilepsy, relieving pain and helping with a variety of mental health issues.

,聽former interim director of the , has been honored by the Pan American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology (PASEDB) with the Service Award.

More than 100 million land mines remain buried around the world, posing a threat in approximately 70 countries and territories, and killing or injuring about 5,000 people, most of them civilians, every year.聽

As the world鈥檚 geopolitical landscape shifts, nine scientists studying different aspects of warfare ecology from seven countries 鈥� Poland, Ukraine, Norway, Spain, the United States, Finland and Croatia 鈥� are warning against the growing deployment of land mines as countries bordering Russia withdraw from global conventions restricting their use.

Professor knows what makes us tick, at least at a cellular level.

His research into the mechanisms of the oldest biological clock known to humankind has led him to understand how proteins 鈥� and hence cells 鈥� can tell time.

It has also led the 五一社区 biochemist to become this year's recipient of the prestigious Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin award, sponsored by the Rigaku Corporation and given by The Protein Society (TPS).

Shark Week starts Sunday and will be featured again this year in a special airing at 9 p.m. Monday, titled 鈥淛aws vs. Mega Croc,鈥� and the filming allowed her to swim with a Nile crocodile.

鈥淚 flew to Florida and learned about crocodiles 鈥� their evolution, strength, physiology and behavior. More interactions are being recorded between sharks and crocodiles these days, so I also needed to learn about these situations,鈥� she said.
