Researchers at the University of Buffalo are hoping to make breast cancer screening easier and quicker than ever before, with a detection technique that only requires patients to press up against a window for a minute to get accurate results in 3D.

Scientists at the University of Buffalo have found a very useful clue shedding light on the migration of canines to the Americas, in the DNA of an ancient bone fragment thought to be the oldest confirmed dog remains in the region.

​First of all, no one is suggesting that if you suffer from depression and anxiety, you should drink a lot of red wine. That would ultimately NOT help the situation. However, it turns out that a plant-derived compound IN the wine – known as resveratrol – could indeed make a difference.

Scientists have developed a technique that lets them directly control physical movements in mice. Using magneto-thermal stimulation, they activated sections of the brain that caused mice to run, turn or stop, which could eventually lead to new therapies for brain disorders or even mental illness.

Researchers from the University at Buffalo School of Engineering have turned to colonies of E. coli bacteria to produce new forms of antibiotics. The study made use of a harmless form of E. coli, and several of the resulting drugs may be equipped to tackle harmful, drug-resistant bacteria.

Using newly-developed metamaterials, scientists at the University of Buffalo have created a prototype "hyperlens" that may help image objects in visible light with dimensions so small that they were once only clearly viewable through electron microscopes.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is one of the most common causes of death in the US. Now, a study conducted by the University of Buffalo has concluded that the hand-held Lung Flute is effective at helping patients breath more freely.

Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a “just add water” affair.
