The Beckman Foundation selected the UT Austin chemist among 12 award-winning early-career faculty nationwide.

Eric Anslyn co-led a study revealing how salt can be used to control the formation and aging of nanocrystal gels.

The winner of the prestigious Churchill Scholarship is triple-majoring in math, chemistry and computational engineering.

The finding suggests other chemo drugs, too, may be making cancer cells cause a surprising immune-system reaction.

Top-prize image highlights a vital player in the central nervous system.

William Gilpin in physics and Devleena Samanta in chemistry each were selected for the honor.

A UT chemist says it is now time to develop tests for microplastics, similar to tests for other toxic threats.

The startup, based on work from UT chemists, puts a reusable, 3D-printed filtration platform to work.

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers.

The announcement notes: “UT Austin is where world-changing discoveries in quantum research and development are being made.”
