Voyage reveals wonder and beauty of ‘long-dead ocean dwellers’
Rice Ph.D. student Debadrita Jana is part of a scientific voyage exploring deep beneath the Indian Ocean.
Physicists harness electrons to make ‘synthetic dimensions’
Rice University physicists have learned to manipulate electrons in gigantic Rydberg atoms with such precision they can create “synthetic dimensions” where the system acts as if it had extra spatial dimensions, which are important tools for quantum simulations.
Inaugural class of Rice Innovation Fellows announced
The Provost’s Office and the Liu Idea Lab for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Lilie) have announced the inaugural class of Rice Innovation Fellows, a program that will provide educational and financial support to the next generation of scientist- and engineer-led spinout ventures.
Environmental champions win Rice grants

Strong magnets put new twist on phonons
Phonons, quasiparticles in a crystal lattice that are usually hard to control by external fields, can be manipulated by a magnetic field -- but it takes a very strong magnet.
Bacterial ‘bully’ could improve food production
Lactic acid bacteria that thrive in many organisms, including humans, employ a hybrid metabolism that combines respiration and fermentation to give it an advantage over competitors. Researchers say the discovery could lead to enhanced techniques for food and chemical production.
Physicists find evidence of new quantum phase
Rice physicists collaborated on the discovery of a quantum phase that appears to break time-reversal symmetry.
Rare earth elements await in waste
Rice University scientists applied their flash Joule heating process to coal fly ash and other toxic waste to safely extract rare earth elements essential to modern electronics and green technologies.
