Prestigious award includes $500,000 in research funding for Yuzhe Xiao’s work on thermal properties of semiconductors.

The goal of the research is to investigate methods for maintaining temperature-stable lasers after long duration and high-power conditions.

UNT faculty, students and alumni are devoting their work to critical health research

UNT’s Division of Research and Innovation hosted University Research Day to celebrate research, foster collaboration and discuss discoveries and ideas shaping research.

Omar Valsson is one of 93 in the nation and one of only three in Texas to be named a recipient of the 2023 Early Career Award from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Through the project, UNT professors and their external collaborators also will focus on encouraging future STEM professionals to pursue careers in space exploration.

The award will support the investigation of a fungal endophyte that grows naturally on corn.

Biology Professor Jannon Fuchs has been selected as the 2023 Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) - Goldwater Scholars Faculty Mentor Awardee.

A team of interdisciplinary researchers is exploring how the desalination of brackish water could make food production more sustainable.

College of Science assistant professor Molly Atkinson is studying ways to build more equitable educational pathways in chemistry for underserved communities.

More than 60 researchers at UNT were among the top 2% of more than six million scientists worldwide within their specialty areas throughout their careers.

Calvin Henard’s work is backed by a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation and the Agile BioFoundry.

This is the first time UNT has earned this designation, which is given to HSI universities who have demonstrated noteworthy engagement with Fulbright exchange participants.

The new terrestrial bird species was identified in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago — the southernmost location in Chile and the Americas.

This first-of-its-kind study will establish a new concept for producing valuable fungal products and may ultimately lead to medicines that can be delivered in plant seeds, eliminating downstream processing.

Hao Yan, assistant professor of chemistry, and his research team have researched a novel way to grow nanodiamonds that are extremely small and uniformly sized without using explosives.

Researchers in Richard Dixon’s lab have been studying C-lignin, a type of fiber in the seed coats of certain exotic plants, since his team member Fang Chen discovered it in 2011. Helping plants produce C-lignin could lead to crops that are useful for creating an economically feasible plant-based jet fuel, among other applications.

A team of students from UNT’s Texas Academy of Mathematics and Sciences, mentored by UNT BioDiscovery Institute’s Calvin Henard and Mauricio Antunes, is the first group from UNT to participate in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition. The team genetically modified bacteria to mitigate greenhouse gases.

Representatives from the U.S. Army Reserve’s 75th Innovation Command, First Innovation Group recently visited UNT to recognize the importance of emerging technology from the university in supporting their mission to strengthen national defense.

A possible malaria outbreak in birds in Chile could lead to a better understanding of the impact global warming has on disease transmission, according to Andrew Gregory, assistant professor of biological sciences.
