A new way to store carbon captured from the atmosphere developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin works much faster than current methods without the harmful chemical accelerants they require.

Bridging Barriers has taken a structured, proactive approach to interdisciplinary collaboration, and now, almost eight years after its creation, it has developed a network of over 300 scholars that spans nearly every college and school and research support units across The University of Texas at Austin campus.

Surface mapping technology such as GPS, radar and laser scanning have long been used to measure features on the Earth’s surface. Now, a new computational technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin is allowing scientists to use those technologies to look inside the planet.

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.

Breast cancer leads worldwide among cancers in women, claiming nearly 670,000 lives in 2022 according to the World Health Organization. TACC supercomputers at The University of Texas at Austin give scientists the computational resources and innovative data analysis tools they need to make new discoveries in understanding and treating breast cancer.

Powerful new artificial intelligence models sometimes, quite famously, get things wrong — whether hallucinating false information or memorizing others’ work and offering it up as their own. To address the latter, researchers led by a team at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a framework to train AI models on images corrupted beyond recognition.

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.

A deadly strain of cholera bacteria that emerged in Indonesia back in 1961 continues to spread widely to this day, claiming thousands of lives around the world every year, sickening millions — and, with its persistence, baffling scientists. Finally, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have discovered how this dangerous strain has held out over decades.

Future-minded computer science researchers are utilizing Dynamic Belief Games to train agents to be better planning and decision tools for innovative communications systems.

A powerful new supercomputer that will enable dynamic open science research projects in the U.S. is in full production in the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin.
