UP study identifies opportunities and challenges for advanced DNA technology in SEA Forensics
Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA markers at the same time and in much greater detail than older methods. Even so, MPS is still not widely used in Southeast Asian countries. Researchers from...
Ateneo spearheads int’l cooperation for future light-based electronics
Photonics—the next generation of electronics technology, which uses light instead of electricity—is gaining a foothold in the Philippines thanks to the Ateneo de Manila University’s Research on Optical and Electronic Systems (ROSES) Laboratory, the country’s first and only facility dedicated to locally designing...

Baring the ‘silent violence’ of Philippine jails
Conversations about Philippine jail congestion often begin and end with statistics: thousands of case backlogs, cells built for 50 crammed with 200 bodies, and facilities straining at 300 to 400 percent beyond capacity. Yet these numbers barely capture the everyday human cost of...
UP study traces extreme waves through ancient coastal boulders
Large boulders, some weighing as much as a large truck, are scattered along the rocky coastline of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte.
These enormous boulders, which sit on an uplifted reef platform far from the sea, are not random. They are fragments of an ancient coral...
“From Cradle To Grave”: UP chemist explains chemistry’s role in global treaties
Chemistry has long driven progress in fields ranging from agriculture and healthcare to energy and infrastructure. Its innovations fuel economic growth, improve quality of life, and help countries meet their fundamental societal needs. Yet chemistry’s dual nature—capable of producing both beneficial and harmful...
