We have just published evidence in Nature Astronomy for what might be producing mysterious bursts of radio waves coming from distant galaxies, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs.

An international team of scientists found that there may be a correlation between the mysterious phenomena known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and gravitational waves emanating from neutron star mergers.

Rob Lang, a renowned public policy expert in Southern Nevada, may have died in June 2021, but his legacy won’t soon be forgotten. You can drive around Las Vegas and see the fruits of his labor everywhere, from UNLV’s Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine to Allegiant Stadium — two projects on which Lang consulted. UNLV, where Lang was a longtime professor, is looking to raise some of the next “Rob Langs,” and the university has found its first of many.

Speeding, distracted driving, and running red lights are trends a new UNLV study has linked to thousands of car crashes in Nevada that have taken thousands of lives.

A team of researchers at UNLV's medical school is working with a decade's worth of data to determine causes and possible solutions to the deadly roads across Nevada.

Gravitational waves from the smashup came from the same part of sky at almost the same time

About 500,000 people in the United States suffer from gastrointestinal infections from Clostridioides difficile (C. diff). Over 20,000 die from the infections.

While April through September are usually the most active months, the pesky eight-legged parasites are biting people and animals much earlier in the year than expected. The increasing tick bites are leading to a rise in a variety of tick-borne diseases, including some that were previously uncommon.
