Emily Klein had checked off more than half of her college bucket list: Tailgate for a sporting event. Have a meal with a professor. Vote in an election. The list, filled with 120 activities to complete by graduation day, was given to UVA’s Class of 2020 just as their senior year started. Klein had planned to finish the remaining tasks near the end of the spring semester, when her workload would be lighter. That semester, of course, was upended by the pandemic.

A polymer-based insulator that conducts heat well and has an ultralow dielectric constant – two properties seldom seen in the same structure – could help dissipate waste heat in computer chips. Researchers led by Patrick Hopkins of the University of Virginia and William Dichtel at Northwestern University have now overcome this obstacle by producing high-quality, wafer-scale, 2-D COF films linked via sheets of a polymer (boronate ester) just one atom thick.

As the party prepares to pick its nominee this weekend, the race embodies the collapse of Republican power in a state that has tilted more sharply to Democrats than perhaps any other. Larry J. Sabato, the director of UVA’s Center for Politics, said the Republican candidates for governor this year fit into three categories: “Trumpy, Trumpier, Trumpiest.”
The Virginia GOP, eager to halt a statewide losing streak that's gone on for more than a decade, are putting their hopes behind a candidate for governor set to be picked on Saturday.

Pete Snyder is just one of seven GOP candidates who have thrown their hat in the ring ahead of Saturday’s convention. Beyond Snyder, three other candidates are seen as frontrunners: businessman Glenn Youngkin, former House of Delegates speaker Kirk Cox, and firebrand state Sen.

Her path was clear past the newly dedicated Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia to her left and, to her right, roomy rows of white plastic chairs directed toward a lectern. The baby’s presence was a suitable reminder of why Henderson and other descendants were gathered Wednesday morning: Gov. Ralph Northam ceremonially signed HB1980, which establishes the Enslaved An...

In 2016, Kennedy was elected to the U.S. Senate from Louisiana. Regardless of how you view the politics, Kennedy is one funny man and has become known for his folksy expressions, wit and humor.
