Four University of Iowa faculty members were honored recently with the 2018 President and Provost Award for Teaching Excellence in recognition of their years of outstanding teaching.

Physicists at the University of Iowa have successfully measured the movement history of particles in an ionized gas increasingly used in the high-tech industry. The researchers measured the quantum-state history of individual particles and then used that information to track the movement of entire groups.

Parents know they need to work with their child’s schools to prevent cyberbullying, but a new study from the University of Iowa shows many wonder how.

A postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iowa is hot on the trail of dark energy, the mysterious force thought to be behind the universe’s accelerated expansion. Spyridon Argyropoulos is leading particle-collision experiments establishing boundaries for where dark energy might be found.

Damani Phillips, University of Iowa associate professor of jazz studies and African American studies, created “Jazz in the Fight for Civil Rights” for a campus event five years ago. Since then, it has toured Iowa and the world.

A team of biologists co-led by the University of Iowa has found a gene that is integral to animal and human hearing. The gene, called Neurod1, orchestrates a sequence of gene expression activities that are essential for forming the frequency-specific connection between the ear and the brain.

As the executive director of the University of Iowa Dance Marathon, junior Enterprise Leadership major Charlie Ellis has made a big impact on the direction of Dance Marathon for years to come.

A new study co-led by a University of Iowa researcher paints a complex evolutionary past for modern-day alligators and crocodiles. The analysis states modern crocodiles and alligators came from a variety of surroundings beginning in the early Jurassic Period, and various species occupied a host of ecosystems over time, including land, estuarine, freshwater and marine.
