When we talk about climate resilience, we tend to focus on the future — solutions that might stave off disaster, technologies that could hold back the tide. But for a team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, part of the answer may lie in the deep past.

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.

When disasters strike, from hurricanes to disease outbreaks, communities need more than just forecasts — they need the full picture. Planet Texas 2050 researchers are building powerful new tools that use artificial intelligence to combine sensor data, scientific models, and even personal stories…

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.

In the Beaumont–Port Arthur region, rich wetlands and bayous sit alongside one of the nation’s busiest energy corridors—where industry, biodiversity and environmental stressors converge. It's a place that demands both scientific insight and deep community knowledge to navigate complex trade-offs.

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.

New wearable hydration tech could change how we stay safe, healthy, and hydrated

When Dr. Frances Champagne and her team at The University of Texas at Austin set out to study stress, they didn’t expect a global pandemic to reshape their methods. But the result — a semi-virtual version of a gold-standard stress protocol — could reshape the field itself.
