The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is the engine behind DesignSafe, enabling researchers to perform advanced computational research, manage massive datasets, and collaborate across institutions.

University of Texas epidemiologist finds increases in asthma-related ER visits after school starts and disproportionate rates in more vulnerable areas.

Overuse of digital gadgets harms teenagers, research suggests. But ubiquitous technology may be helping older Americans stay sharp.

A team from The University of Texas at Austin and University of Massachusetts Boston has found that frequent helping outside the home significantly slows cognitive decline in middle-age and older adults.

Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant black hole — a behemoth that likely formed at the dawn of the universe, more than 13 billion years ago.

A National Science Foundation artificial intelligence institute based at The University of Texas at Austin will receive continued funding for research that will improve the accuracy and reliability of AI models and lead to new drug development and improvements in clinical diagnoses.

An international team of astronomers, led by The University of Texas at Austin’s Cosmic Frontier Center, has identified the most distant black hole ever confirmed. It and the galaxy it calls home, CAPERS-LRD-z9, are present 500 million years after the Big Bang.

A new artificial intelligence model developed through an academic-industrial partnership between The University of Texas at Austin and Sanofi, helps predict how much protein cells will produce, which can minimize the need for trial-and-error experimentation, accelerating the next generation of mRNA therapeutics.
