Trillions of miles away from our planet, nuclear reactions inside exploding stars produce most of the naturally occurring elements in the universe.

Here on Earth, Florida State University physicists at the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory will replicate those reactions to better understand how they work and produce elements. Their work to investigate the universe’s building blocks is funded by a $9 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Can you imagine a day when you turn on your faucet and no water comes out? The hypothetical question, posed by a research team at UNLV, is called a Day Zero scenario. It sounds like the plot of a doomsday apocalypse series but its not as unimaginable - or as far-fetched - as a Hollywood screenplay might seem. A few years ago in Cape Town, South Africa they almost reached this point, where they were about to tell their citizens that they simply had no more water to give them, even though we all know that water is necessary on a daily basis, said Erica Marti, an associate professor of civil and environmental

UNLV first reached R1 classification in 2018. Our research has captured international headlines. Mechanical Engineering Professor H. Jeremy Cho and his research team, through a process called atmospheric water harvesting, are studying ways to capture water vapor from the air to transform it into drinkable water; and our geoscientists identified the first-ever mineral from Earth’s lower mantle. We are also graduating more students with doctoral degrees, and bolstering the number of non-faculty researchers in sciences and health.
