Among the nation’s top 4% of research universities and a designated R1 institution, UTSA holds $140 million in research expenditures and $3 billion in direct economic impact. As a Tier One university, UTSA fosters accelerating transdisciplinary research and innovation. Just in the past month, UTSA researchers have been progressing within their fields, from receiving awards...
A longtime faculty member and university administrator, Gange will serve as interim provost as a global search begins for a new provost
MIT researchers have developed a technique to 3D-print materials with customizable mechanical properties that can also sense how they are moving and interacting with their environment. Their method only requires one printing material and a single run on a 3D printer.
New Crush-Resistant Metamaterials can Prevent Failure of Structures Written by AZoMMar 12 2021 A chain reaction of locally restricted damage can inevitably lead to a catastrophic breakdown of structures and materials. Such a failure can be seen in many structures, from metal space trusses that collapse after the warping of a solo strut to solid ceramics that breakdown after the development of a tiny crack. Novel tensegrity metamaterials by UCI and Georgia Institute of Technology researchers employ isolated compressive loop elements that are exclusively connected through a continuous network o...
