Natural gas is abundant and burns more cleanly than gasoline. But it burns hot. A UVA engineer is developing metals to withstand the heat.
The new technique allows researchers to more easily sort genes’ immediate effects from the complex chain reactions that follow. One possible application: more effective testing for new drugs.
The findings improve doctors’ understanding of abnormal, often deadly thickening of the heart and could help them predict patients’ risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure.
Haiti’s importance to modern democracy is pretty widely understood among academics, but most Americans only know a single – negative – perspective and little of its rich history.

The latest evidence that gene may not be destiny comes from Kathleen Krol’s study of maternal-infant interactions and how they affect the expression of genes that are important to babies’ development of oxytocin systems.
The research of Eric Young and colleagues disputes the accepted theories on wealth disparities between black and white households.
UVA’s High-Energy Lab physicists are building large components for one of the largest physics experiments ever conducted in the U.S. The results may rival the discovery of the Higgs boson.
