three small samples of lunar glass.
Artemis II lifts off—the first crewed mission to the Moon since 1972. 🚀
Using glass collected on those Apollo missions, URochester researchers have found the Moon likely never had a magnetic shield—fueling the future of lunar exploration in the Artemis era.

How does the body protect the developing brain from environmental toxins? #URochesterResearch is studying whether pregnancy itself helps the body eliminate mercury from fish before it reaches the fetus
Meet the Plastics of LOMP!
Our researchers from the Lake Ontario MicroPlastics Center (LOMP) are studying many types of plastics. These fact sheets provide information about some of these plastics and why LOMP researchers are studying them.

Neuroscience researchers address a classroom
Students split into smaller groups and work on graduate student designed projects to learn about the brain
Cultivating an interest in brain research is what NEURO2ALL is all about!
It was wonderful to partner with the Rochester Young Scientists Club and teach with 5th and 6th grade students about the brain! #URochesterResearch
New research from Jannick Rolland shows that as optics face stricter demands, controlling pupil aberrations is key. This study provides math formulas for 50 pupil aberrations in symmetric systems, tested with algebra and computer checks.
