Landslides cause more than a billion dollars in damage in the United States each year, according to the American Geoscience Institute. Predicting them could soon be a lot easier.

A new study out of the University of Texas at Austin showed that savings can be made by reducing the demand on the existing electrical grid if people and companies invested in cleaner energy, like solar power, including rooftop, community, and battery storage systems.

A pioneering mission into a mysterious and violent world led by the Jackson School of Geosciences may reveal ‘speed bumps’ on the way to global coastal inundation

The University of Texas at Austin will receive $840 million to build a facility for manufacturing “the next generation” of microelectronics used in Department of Defense systems.

Moms talked 16% less to their babies when they were fiddling with their phone, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found in a new study.

Sea otters are one of the few animals that use tools to access their food, and a new study led in part by The University of Texas at Austin has found that individual sea otters that use tools — most of whom are female — are able to eat larger prey and reduce tooth damage when their preferred prey becomes depleted.

The study found that increased physical activity lengthened the time it takes to enter the REM stage. The researchers believe that this is because exercise helps to consolidate deeper sleep stages before REM.

Multiple brain-computer interface (BCI) devices can allow now users to do everything from control computer cursors, to translate neural activity into words, to convert handwriting into text. While one of the latest BCI examples appears to accomplish very similar tasks, it does so without the need for time-consuming, personalized calibration or high-stakes neurosurgery.

A recently discovered species of ancient crocodile was found to be much sturdier than even our modern-day crocs.

In the field of psychology, studies have shown a citation gap, where the research contributions of men are referenced more often than those of women. A new study offers a potential explanation for the discrepancy—male researchers forget about women’s contributions.
