What if the solution to water shortages is already in the air?💧
UT Austin researchers with the @CockrellSchool developed a solar-powered device that pulled record amounts of drinking water from the atmosphere in a range of climates, from the dry New Mexico desert to humid Austin.

Independent pharmacy is evolving, and so is patient care. 🩺
Texas Pharmacy alumni Steve Hoffart (B.S. ’94, Pharm.D. ’02) and Ryan Hoffart (Pharm.D. ’23) are helping redefine what a community pharmacy can be. Through Magnolia Pharmacy, the father and son team is expanding access to care, delivering personalized health services and strengthening connections with the community they serve.

One of science's highest honors has found a home in Texas for the first time.
@TexasScience physicist Allan MacDonald, alongside researchers from @MIT and @RutgersU, has been awarded the 2026 @KavliPrize in Nanoscience for foundational work that helped establish the field of twistronics, opening new possibilities in energy, electronics and quantum technologies.
MacDonald is the first Texas-based researcher to receive the award in nanoscience since the prize was established in 2008.
