Many summer visitors to America’s national parks hope for a glimpse of a moose or a bighorn sheep — or perhaps to spot a wolf or a bear. 

A newly published study by a multinational group of wildlife scientists took advantage of the unique opportunity offered by the 2020 COVID-19 shutdowns to better understand why such glimpses can be so elusive.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln turfgrass researchers teamed up with Husker Athletics to tackle the installment of bermudagrass for the new football practice fields.

Researchers discovered how to measure the edge magnetism in tungsten disulfide, previously, confirming it as a promising platform for edge-controlled 2D spintronics, multifunctional devices and hybrid applications.

American agriculture has a growing need to strengthen its defenses against cyber assaults. The computers, sensors, GPS and cloud-based data systems that help producers boost productivity also increase the chances for cybercriminals to worm their way into producers’ operational systems and data.

With support from NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project, sophomore Anastasia Eriksen is spending her summer conducting research and educating Nebraskans at Branched Oak Observatory.

Nearly six years ago, about 230 scientists from around the world identified 23 of the most pressing unsolved problems in hydrology. University of Nebraska–Lincoln researcher Tirthankar Roy is now tackling one of them — understanding the flood risk posed by rain falling on snow, a threat especially severe in the Midwest.

Roy, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, has received a five-year, $673,168 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program to support this work.
