Advancing Thermal Protection Systems with the Koo Research Group
The Koo Research Group at UT Austin collaborated with KAI on Ablation Research for over 15 years. Recently, they developed unique capabilities to advance research and development in “Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) Materials.” The paper published in the SAMPE Journal, which introduces their methodology for solving this complex problem.
Chemistry Professor Receives Sloan Research Fellowship and Mark Young Scholar Award
A Sloan Research Fellowship, given by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, is one of the most competitive and prestigious awards available to early-career scholars in fields ranging from computer science to physics, and Zachariah Page of the Department of Chemistry was announced as one of the newest fellows.
Subak Sensing: Silver Nanocluster Reporters Transform Genetic Testing
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) reporters are often used in tests to show if specific genetic material is present. In these tests, certain enzymes called nucleases cut the FRET reporters, causing them to emit light. However, making these FRET reporters involves using a dye/quencher pair and purifying them, which makes the FRET reporters expensive.
Unlocking Collective Motion: Mimicking Nature with Active Particle Systems
In nature, we often see remarkable patterns of movement in groups of animals like fish or birds. These movements are complex and dynamic, involving various behaviors and changes over time. Scientists at UT Austin have been trying to recreate similar behaviors in artificial systems using tiny particles that move on their own.
