Axel Moore and Christopher Long received prizes at the University of Delaware’s doctoral hooding ceremony, held Friday, May 25, for their dissertations.

Adapting apps for high-powered computing

Adapting apps for high-powered computing

A modern-day version of the 20th-century space race, companies and governments worldwide are scurrying to build an what’s called an exascale computer, which could do a billion billion calculations per second. UD computer scientists team with Oak Ridge National Lab to program apps for next-generation supercomputer.

Searching for the Big Picture

Searching for the Big Picture

Essential information about medical discoveries is often buried inside the graphs, charts, photographs, and other images that illustrate research journals. Large-scale analysis of images along with the text could soon be possible, thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Programming DNA to deliver cancer drugs

Programming DNA to deliver cancer drugs

DNA has an important job—it tells your cells which proteins to make. Now, a research team at UD has developed technology to program strands of DNA into switches that turn proteins on and off.
