Two University of Nebraska–Lincoln scientists, partnering with American Farmland Trust and four Nebraska farmers, have established a biochar on-farm research network. It is among the first and largest in the United States

As many as three-quarters of the nearly 25,000 American youth in residential care have experienced significant trauma, including maltreatment, poverty and, for many, systemic racism and discrimination. 

Research suggests that such trauma increases risk for mental and behavioral health problems. However, some youth in residential care with trauma still display steadfast resilience, functioning well even in the presence of significant risk. But it is unclear whether resilience — a dynamic process of adjusting successfully to stress and adversity — is structured and functions the same for youth in residential care as it does for similar youth in the general community.

The University of Nebraska has launched the Artificial Intelligence Institute. The institute is a systemwide initiative that positions Nebraska as a national leader in shaping the future of responsible, human-centered artificial intelligence.

A Husker computer scientist is leading three projects aimed at advancing the speed, intelligence and efficiency of data networks — research that sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and next-generation connectivity.

More than 150 human diseases — including Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s — are linked to mitochondrial failure, and one Nebraska scientist is working to decode why.

A five-year, $2 million renewal of Oleh Khalimonchuk’s Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award from the National Institutes of Health — one of the agency’s most competitive and prestigious funding mechanisms — has set the stage for the next chapter of his work.

This spring, R&I will offer a series of virtual ideation workshops designed to help faculty advance research, scholarship and creative endeavors within the university’s six research identity areas.
