In the Spotlight
Recording mice as they hunt crickets. “Photographing” atoms without a microscope. Using electrochemistry to brew coffee with molecular precision. It’s all in a day’s work for Oregon faculty members. Learn about their recent work, in their own words.
My lab is trying to figure out how vision works, which really is asking how the brain works when we interact with the world—like reaching for a coffee cup or looking for a recognizable face in a crowd. In the past, vision studies were more like an eye exam.

Professor, Department of Biology
People in the last hundred years have been building better and better lenses to look at things that are increasingly small … My work shows that you can image very small atoms without having to spend the upfront cost for an expensive microscope.
Kayla Nguyen
Professor, Department of Physics
There's been a fad in times of trauma for soft materials. When you have a Labubu on your bag… It looks cute. You look at it, and you feel comforted.
