The biosphere that exists below Earth’s surface dwarfs the surface biome, and a new collaboration co-led by Jack Mustard will work to better understand what’s underground.

Brown engineering professor Chris Rose thinks the tiny data disks with volumes of human knowledge currently flying to the Moon on the Beresheet spacecraft are a great way to communicate across time and space.

The Israeli firm SpaceIL turned to Brown’s Jim Head for help in selecting a landing site for what is expected in the coming weeks to become the first private spacecraft to land on the Moon.

The results are the first part of a national study of whether a method to detect Alzheimer’s-related plaques improves the outcomes of patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

This type of learning transfer opens the door for applying basic cognitive science research to help patients with vision loss.

A new type of hydrogel material developed by Brown University researchers could soon make assembling complex microfluidic or soft robotic devices as simple as putting together a LEGO set.

The academic journal PLOS ONE on March 19 published a revised version of a study on “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” — information on the revised version and a series of previous statements to the Brown community are detailed here.

At Match Day 2019, 125 Brown students were placed in medical residency programs across the country, the largest class to be matched to date.

Brown graduate student Kevin Nguyen earned a competitive national fellowship from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support his research aimed at building healthier and more equitable communities.

As part of Brain Week R.I., Brown students and faculty are bringing brain science to local high schools, planning the University’s annual Brain Fair and much more.

In an innovation that may ultimately help to prevent deadly bloodstream infections, a team of biomedical engineers and infectious disease specialists at Brown University developed a coating to keep intravascular catheters from becoming a haven for harmful bacteria.

Meltwater from Greenland’s ice sheet is a leading contributor to global sea level rise, and a Brown University study shows that an underappreciated factor — the position of the snowline on the ice sheet — plays a key role in setting the pace of melting.

As the new TIME’S UP affiliate launched, Brown’s medical school expressed its commitment to improving the climate for women and underrepresented minorities in academic medicine and the health care industry.
