One method of 3D printing involves selectively exposing liquid resin to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing that resin to harden into a solid. Now, scientists have developed a new resin that works with safer, more energy-efficient visible light.

A new battery design from the University of Texas at Austin may help address some issues of current lithium batteries, with the researchers demonstrating a new type of architecture that is entirely free of cobalt.

Scientists investigating the driving factors behind certain neurological diseases have uncovered a new class of proteins that could help us intervene in some of the destructive processes that take place in the brain.

Although robotic prosthetic legs do have some advantages over their conventional counterparts, they also have some drawbacks that keep them from entering wider use. A new prototype prosthesis, however, addresses some of those shortcomings.

A strange fossil discovered in Antarctica almost a decade ago has finally been identified. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have determined that the object is a giant, soft-shell egg, most likely laid by an ancient marine reptile.

Heating and cooling systems are huge consumers of energy, so passively cooling buildings and electronics could help the environment. A new photonic film could be just the ticket, made with a micro-structure inspired by a beetle that likes it hot.

Researchers claim to have identified the world's oldest bug. The specimen is a millipede found on an island in Scotland, and it dates back 425 million years. The team says that the finding implies that insects underwent a rapid phase of evolution.

While a gigantic asteroid slamming into the Earth is never a sign of good luck, a new study has shown that the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit the planet at the deadliest possible angle, maximizing the devastating climate change that followed.

Among the promising alternatives to today's energy storage technologies are lithium-sulfur batteries, though they tend to quickly degrade and die. A new design promises to change that through the integration of a rare metalloid called tellurium.

Although driving while high can certainly be dangerous, there are currently few devices that can be used for roadside cannabis-use checks. That could be about to change, though, thanks to research from the University of Texas at Dallas.

Keeping vaccines cool and safe for use is a real problem when it comes to distributing them to remote or developing areas, but a new delivery method from scientists at University of Texas at Austin could give these efforts a huge boost.

Honeybee numbers are falling to colony collapse disorder (CCD), which has devastating implications for global ecosystems and agriculture. But now, researchers have engineered bacteria that can help bees fend off two of the main causes of CCD.
