This August, due to campuswide interest, UW–Madison installed 13 additional boxes, for a total of 25 locations on campus, so the entire UW–Madison community has access to this lifesaving measure.
School’s in. And so are experts from the University of Wisconsin–Madison who can discuss a variety of subjects related to the start of a new school year.
An atmospheric heat dome parked over the central U.S. is sending temperatures soaring this week. Combined with oppressively high humidity, the sizzling temperatures are a recipe for heat-related danger. In Wisconsin, some communities haven’t grappled with heat of this magnitude for a decade or longer. Richard Keller, a professor of medical history and bioethics, is …
UW experts weigh in on why heat can be so dangerous for our health and offer tips on how to stay cool when temperatures soar.
Machine learning algorithms can ward off a host of digital impersonators trying to hack voice recognition software, but new research has shown they aren’t so impervious to analog threats.
Most recently the dean of the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, Charles Isbell began Aug. 1 as provost at the UW–Madison.
Researchers have trained a new algorithm based on promising new targets and reinvigorated the search for clusters of genes likely to result in interesting biological compounds.
Led by a team at UW–Madison, researchers have created the first global map of wildland-human interfaces. Their findings, recently published in Nature, could improve responses to environmental conflicts like wildfires, the spread of zoonotic diseases and loss of ecosystem biodiversity.
For the first time, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has produced an image of the Milky Way using neutrinos — tiny, ghostlike astronomical messengers.
Their findings could lead to new ways of increasing the toughness of a wide array of materials.
UW’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center bring together teams of researchers from diverse backgrounds to better understand disordered materials, including various types of glass, as well as the emergence of order from disordered materials.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers will investigate the links between systemic inflammation and inflammation in the brain.
A new study from researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison offers a first-of-its-kind visual of a non-mammal species’ adaptive immune system in action.
Some microbes in the guts of humans and mice may help control the buildup of plaque in arteries, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, by gobbling up a group of inflammatory chemicals before they can circulate in the body.
The two companies’ Wisconsin roots and national recognition are the result of decades of fusion investment and innovation at UW–Madison.
Research led by researchers at UW–Madison will leverage new ways of delivering drug therapies through nanotechnology with advanced genome CRISPR technology to innovate new treatments for two hereditary diseases that cause blindness.
Until now, scholars believed that the mental capacity behind complex cultural behaviors like burial and mark-making required a larger brain, like those of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
UW–Madison will collaborate on a project to give Native students a comprehensive resource of college-level financial aid programs and policies.
New weather trends, from a predicted El Niño to an early fire season in Western Canada signal the beginning of what may be a turbulent weather pattern. Experts from UW–Madison are available for insight and analysis.
This professorship fund, named for Chancellor Emerita Rebecca Blank’s husband, recognizes recently tenured faculty with stellar research and teaching records and a commitment to service.
