From computing to medical science and clean energy, quantum science plays a leading role in modern life, and Longhorns have shaped the field for decades. 🤘
Explore how UT researchers pioneered the field of twistronics, established foundations of quantum computing and even helped coin the term “qubit.” utex.as/4d8GyfZ

Plant cells have their own language, & #HHMIInvestigator Keiko Torii has spent 30 yrs decoding it. Her team's new work on the signals guiding stomatal development — & how plants balance that with pathogen defense — could help develop more resilient crops: bit.ly/4hFvOIy

The UT turtle pond is more than a campus favorite 🐢🔬
For four years, Longhorns have been gaining hands-on research experience by studying the red-eared sliders that call the Forty Acres home. Their latest findings revealed a distinct set of microbes on UT’s turtles when compared with turtles from other Austin area ponds.

Did you know?
September 16, 1941 - 85 years ago - @UTAustin chemists discovered and named folic acid after distilling *four tons* (yes, 8,000 pounds!) of spinach. Wheelbarrows full of the leafy greens made their way to the lab in Welch Hall.
What starts here . . . 🤘

What if cancer’s favorite fuel could become its weakness? 🧬
UT Austin researchers developed an experimental drug that pushes cancer cells to burn more sugar while blocking their backup fuel source.
The early results are promising, and could point to a new approach to cancer treatment.
