According to the CDC, an estimated 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV and one in seven do not know they have it. In an effort to help people living with HIV and AIDS, University researchers created PositiveLinks, an app equipped with features such as appointment reminders and a wellness calendar to encourage treatment adherence. In June, the researchers published a study that found that PositiveLinks was able to improve treatment adherence and outcomes among HIV-positive patients.

The question of how the universe came into existence has remained a mystery for millenia. There have been numerous theories regarding the creation of the universe — such as the Big Bang Theory — but there are still many unanswered questions. The NOvA project, centralized at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, aims to utilize particles called neutrinos to learn more about the beginning of the universe.

The University’s current hospital expansion project has been under construction since June 2016 and has made significant progress. With over 450,000 square feet available for new space — which is roughly 50 percent of the size of the current hospital — and about 95,000 square feet for renovations, it will be one of the biggest projects the University Medical Center has ever undertaken.

NASA’s Cold Atom Laboratory aims to create an environment with minimal gravity and temperatures nearing absolute zero — about negative 273 degrees Celsius — in order to examine how atoms behave under these conditions. Assoc. Physics Prof. Cass Sackett was chosen as one of several investigators who will get to conduct experiments in the CAL when it is sent to the International Space Station next year. Although the experiments will performed in space, they will be remotely conducted on Earth which will allow investigators like Sackett to see firsthand how these atoms behave in such an extreme environment.
