New research from Simon Brandl at The University of Texas at Austin challenges a long-held belief about coral reefs.

Two UT Austin physicists were part of a collaboration that won the Breakthrough Prize for work at the Large Hadron Collider.

Seagrasses store a lot of carbon in their tissues, making them a potential counterweight to rising levels of atmospheric CO2. Seagrasses are more efficient at storing carbon in the soil or sediment, ...

Dozens of UT Austin students received Graduate Research Fellowships and honors from the National Science Foundation.

Researchers say the AI system can lead to better decision-making around a wide range of complex policy choices. Using global land use and carbon storage data from the past 175 years, researchers at ...

This, and six other questions about a recent first in physics, answered. A UT-led team observed an interlayer skyrmion—a swirling pattern of electric dipoles in an ultrathin material—for the first ...

Meet the graduating seniors being recognized for excellence in research, academics and improving the community. Every year, the College of Natural Sciences recognizes a select group of graduating ...

Their method to speed up the design of “magnetic bottles” offers an answer to a complex 70-year-old challenge. Predicted motions of hundreds of particles in a fusion reactor. The motions predicted ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

The new model is called WIFI, which stands for dark matter production during Warm Inflation via Freeze-In. According to a new model, dark matter particles (black dots) began forming as the universe ...

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 ...
