More durableA University of Texas at Arlington engineer is modifying molecular structures and blending ceramics to create new material that would be less brittle but retain the strength of the original ceramic and could be used on spacecraft, in power plants and for other applications. Ashfaq Adnan, a UT Arlington assistant professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department , was awarded a highly competitive $120,000 Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research or EAGER award from the National Science Foundation to advance his work. “Certain

UT Arlington researchers have been awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant to study a new model for how motor proteins behave in the body. Their study could radically change the face of biology by explaining how proteins move and interact with other biological systems, said Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of the UT Arlington College of Engineering. “If proven, their study could radically change the face of engineering and science at the nano scale and our understanding of the dynamics and movement of very small objects in a fluid environment,” said Jean-Pierre Bardet, dean of
