Groundbreaking for biomedical engineering building
Expanding its research capabilities and developing the next generation of researchers and scientists is a top priority for UNT, which is why UNT officials broke ground last month on a new biomedical engineering building at Discovery Park – the North Texas region's largest research park. Construction of the 26,250-square-foot expansion will allow UNT to better meet the demands of an ever-growing student class and recruit top talent in research and teaching in one of the nation's newest and most innovative career fields. Learn more about this future building. |

 UNT's PACCAR Technology Institute
Under Anupama Kaul's leadership, UNT's PACCAR Technology Institute emphasizes interdisciplinary research so STEM students gain new perspectives by learning to work collaboratively with researchers from varied disciplines to solve pressing problems. Electrical engineering Ph.D. student Gustavo Lara Saenz is a prime example and the lead author on a study funded with a grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. He works alongside Kaul, who is collaborating with a group of researchers to develop optoelectronic devices based on molybdenum disulfide — or MoS2 — which shows excellent performance to detect incoming light at wavelengths within the visible spectrum and into the infrared, compared to prior reports.

| Developing wear and corrosion resistant alloys |
Corrosion and wear are very common — they can happen to any material exposed to an environment. But, what if materials could be tested at the atomic level to determine exactly how and why they break down and then be improved to create ultra-high performance alloys? UNT researchers are doing just that — designing the next generation alloys that could be used in bio-implants or even outer space. Their study recently was published in Scientific Reports. |
