Twelve research projects have been chosen for funding as part of The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office’s multi-element program to increase engagement between researchers from the A&M System and the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The Texas A&M University System announced the name of its landmark five-acre campus in Houston, Texas. Setting a new standard for collaboration in engineering, medicine, research and education is the first all-new mixed-use campus for the Texas A&M System in Houston: Texas A&M Innovation Plaza.
Innovation was on full display this week at the sixth annual Texas A&M New Ventures Competition hosted by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station. Dr. Albert Huang’s company Allotrope Medical took home the top $50,000 prize for the StimSite technology.
Despite their popularity, printed plastic parts have poor strength because the printed layers aren’t bonded well. Researchers from Texas A&M University, in collaboration with Essentium, Inc., have now developed the technology to boost inter-layer bonding during printing.
Texas A&M researchers have created a new antioxidant mat made from nanofibers of polymers and tannic acid. These mesh-like mats are strong, stable and deliver antioxidant activity for prolonged periods of time.
Dr. Roderic I. Pettigrew, a Ph.D. and M.D. who is the Robert A. Welch Professor in the College of Medicine and professor of biomedical engineering in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University, has been elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
About 95% of the starting fuel rod used in nuclear reactors is unused and discarded as nuclear waste in the United States. Researchers with Texas A&M Engineering have discovered a one-step, proliferation-resistant solution for recycling used nuclear fuel that will drastically reduce waste.
The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office (NLO) and Los Alamos National Laboratory have formed a collaborative research effort to make extremely large data sets indexable and more easily searchable.
