UT Arlington produces first active stereo 3-D planetarium show about NASA’s SOFIA mission

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A new active stereo 3-D show at The Planetarium at UT Arlington will transform learning for students and planetarium visitors interested in exploring the mysteries of our galaxy and beyond. The Planetarium , which is part of the UT Arlington College of Science, soon will begin public showings of “SOFIA 3-D,” a short science film based on NASA’s research and outreach mission, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA. The 3.5-minute film will also be shown prior to other future documentaries. The NASA project has

Researchers provide new details about sea stars' immunity

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A study led by a University of Texas at Arlington graduate student examining sea stars dying along the West Coast provides new clues about the starfish's immune response and its ability to protect a diverse coastal ecosystem. Lauren Fuess, a Ph.D. candidate in quantitative biology, and her team looked at the wasting disease responsible for the largest die-off of sea stars ever recorded. Scientists believe that a virus related to rabies causes wasting disease. When infected, the stars' arms contort, and they develop white lesions. The normally rigid stars begin to melt

UT Arlington Math Department wins national honor for exemplary Ph.D. program

The American Mathematical Society honored UT Arlington for doubling the size of its doctoral program over five years and bolstering those ranks with historically underrepresented student groups, including women and minorities.The American Mathematical Society  has named The University of Texas at Arlington  the winner of its 2013 AMS Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department. The award honors the mathematics department at UT Arlington as a model of excellence among the group’s 570 member institutions. The Society

UT Arlington physics team demonstrates new power generation technique

A University of Texas at Arlington physics professor has helped create a hybrid nanomaterial that can be used to convert light and thermal energy into electrical current, surpassing earlier methods that used either light or thermal energy, but not both. Working with Louisiana Tech University assistant professor Long Que, UT Arlington  associate physics professor Wei Chen and graduate students Santana Bala Lakshmanan and Chang Yang synthesized a combination of copper sulfide nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The team used the nanomaterial to build a
