The research team developed single-crystal HfB₂ with a nanorod structure as the toughening phase for ceramic matrix composites, successfully fabricating HfB₂-SiC composites that simultaneously possess excellent mechanical properties and oxidation/ablation resistance.

A new study published in Biochar reveals that biochar, a carbon rich soil amendment widely used to improve soil health and reduce pollution, continues to influence the movement of veterinary antibiotics in farmland soils even after five years in the field. The work shows that biochar’s ability to retain pollutants changes in surprising ways over time, shifting from adsorption driven effects in the first year to soil structure driven mechanisms after long term aging.

New research from the University of Oregon breaks down how chromium converts from a benign form in rocks and soil to a carcinogenic one in the presence of extreme heat during wildfires.

The National Academy of Inventors has named University of Texas at Arlington researcher Muthu B.J. Wijesundara as a 2025 fellow.

The thunder of a rifle echoes across the savannah. Antelope scatter as birds of all feathers take to the air. A dull thud signals that the marksman’s shot was true. The horn from the felled rhino will command more money on the black market than the hunter could otherwise make in a year.
