Dr. Giuliano Scarcelli Microscopes were first invented more than 400 years ago, and yet the laws of physics that tormented scientists working in microscopy then remain in play today, thanks in part to what’s known as the diffraction limit of light. On a mission to pave the way for revolutionary advancements in microscopy, imaging, and photomedicine, University of Maryland (UMD) researchers have developed a technique to overcome this centuries-old barrier.

A University of Maryland-led research collaboration received a $4.6 million grant to improve rehabilitation interventions for patients with sensorimotor impairments resulting from a stroke, as well as for older adults who face a high risk of falls. Funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, the research team will work to develop technology-enabled therapies and novel techniques to assess impairment. The group hopes that their innovations could augment clinical and home-based treatment options.

A joint team from the University of Maryland (UMD) and Harvard University is among the 17 teams selected by the US Department of Energy to develop ultrahigh temperature alloys and coatings as part of the ULtrahigh Temperature Impervious Materials Advancing Turbine Efficiency (ULTIMATE) Program of the A

A biotech innovator who now administers one of the largest combined academic research portfolios in the nation and a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence have been named the University of Maryland’s representatives in the National Academy of Inventors’ Class of 2020 fellows, joining the ranks of some of the nation’s most prestigious and creative academic inventors.

Five University of Maryland faculty researchers were named American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellows on November, 24, 2020.

Researchers at the University of Maryland College of Education (COE) received grants totaling $3 million to refine a coaching model that targets teachers’ literacy instruction to improve reading comprehension among middle school students. Work on the Adaptive Intervention Model Coaching, or AIM Coaching, is supported by $1.4 million from the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and $1.6 million from the U.S.
