Flood relocation programs more disruptive to those who don’t live in white or affluent neighborhoods

June 29, 2021

HOUSTON – (June 29, 2021) – A government policy that removes homeowners from flood-prone areas disproportionately disrupts the lives of residents from less white and affluent neighborhoods, according to new research from sociologists at Rice University and Temple University.

Fungi embrace fundamental economic theory as they engage in trading

June 29, 2021

HOUSTON – (June 29, 2021) – When you think about trade and market relationships, you might think about brokers yelling at each other on the floor of a stock exchange on Wall Street. But it seems one of the basic functions of a free market is quietly practiced by fungi.

Reversal speeds creation of important molecule

June 29, 2021

A Rice lab’s reverse approach to making halichondrin B is the shortest route to a “rather complex and important molecule."

RAMBO speeds searches on huge DNA databases

June 28, 2021

Rice computer scientists are sending RAMBO to rescue genomic researchers who sometimes wait days or weeks for search results from enormous DNA databases.

Julea Vlassakis

Bioengineering department adds single-cell expert via CPRIT grant

June 26, 2021

The little things of life mean a great deal to Julea Vlassakis, who will bring her study of protein complexes and their role in cancer proliferation to Rice University this year.

Quantum dots keep atoms spaced to boost catalysis

June 24, 2021

Rice engineers use graphene quantum dots to trap transition metals for high atom loading in single atom catalysis.

Rice University scientists have enhanced models that could detect magnetosphere activity on exoplanets. The models add data from nightside activity that could increase signals by at least an order of magnitude. In this illustration, the planet’s star is at top left, and the rainbow patches are the radio emission intensities, most coming from the nightside. The white lines are magnetic field lines.

Nightside radio could help reveal exoplanet details

June 22, 2021

Rice scientists enhance models that could be used to detect magnetosphere activity on exoplanets. The Rice model adds data from nightside activity that could increase signals by at least an order of magnitude.

silicone breast implants with rough and smooth surfaces

Study examines how breast implant surfaces affect immune response

June 21, 2021

Rice University bioengineers collaborated on a six-year study that systematically analyzed how the surface architecture of silicone breast implants influences adverse side effects.

Solar energy collectors grown from seeds

June 21, 2021

Rice University engineers have created microscopic seeds for growing remarkably uniform 2D perovskite crystals that are both stable and highly efficient at harvesting electricity from sunlight.

The mechanism by Rice University chemists for the phase evolution of fluorinated flash nanocarbons shows stages with longer and larger energy input. Carbon and fluorine atoms first form a diamond lattice, then graphene and finally polyhedral concentric carbon. (Credit: Illustration by Weiyin Chen/Rice University)

‘Flashed’ nanodiamonds are just a phase

June 21, 2021

The “flash” process developed at Rice University can turn carbon black into functionalized nanodiamond and other materials. The carbon atoms evolved through several phases depending on the length of the flash.
