If you look closely at Spanish tiles roofs across the Forty Acres, you’ll see they range from red and brown to orange and cream. What began in 1909 with Battle Hall grew into a defining campus identity, continuing across generations and still shaping the look and feel of UT Austin today: utex.as/4eagpge

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. Read more about the award and twistronics: utex.as/4w0t2SL
