Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The ...

Seagrasses are more efficient at storing carbon in the soil or sediment, acre for acre, than a tropical rainforest. That could make them a powerful tool for slowing the rapid rise of atmospheric ...

Using global land use and carbon storage data from the past 175 years, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and Cognizant AI Lab have trained an artificial intelligence system to develop ...

Every year, the College of Natural Sciences recognizes a select group of graduating seniors with its highest undergraduate honor. These students are named Dean’s Honored Graduates. Nominated by ...

Abundant, low-cost, clean energy — the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method of generating and sustaining fusion energy — took one step closer to ...

In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National Institutes of Health, have discovered a ...

Brain activity from two people watching the same silent film. The UT Austin team developed a converter algorithm that transforms one person’s brain activity (left) into the predicted brain activity of ...

Ilya Finkelstein, associate professor of molecular biosciences at The University of Texas at Austin, will receive a 2025 Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award from the Texas Academy of Medicine, Engineering ...

The big cosmic joke of dark matter is that, although we can’t see it, it apparently makes up the vast majority of all the matter in the universe. We literally can’t see the forest for the trees. We’re ...

Leveraging a unique statistical analysis and applying it to ancient DNA extracted from human skeletal remains, a team of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and the University of ...
