The ‘Immortal’ Animal That Can Cheat Death
Newsweek • Dec 20, 2025In order to carry out this process, when T. dohrnii is "physically damaged, starving, or stressed by temperature changes," it sinks to the ocean floor to begin the transformation, "effectively bypassing death," Maria Pia Miglietta, a professor of marine biology at Texas A&M University, told Newsweek.
We could be a step closer to “recharging aging tissues” in humans, which would be a game changer for modern medicine. This is the welcome discovery of scientists at Texas A&M University who may have found a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production.
Warning Issued to Dog Owners Over Homemade Dog Food
Newsweek • Nov 24, 2025Researchers with Texas A&M University's the Dog Aging Project (DAP) found that the overwhelming majority of homemade dog diets fail to meet their essential nutrient requirements — potentially putting pups at risk despite their owners’ best intentions.
Corte, an assistant professor in marine biology at Texas A&M University, noted that the projection that the world’s sandy beaches could vanish by the end of the century is based on earlier research by Michalis I. Vousdoukas and his colleagues, published in Nature Climate Change in 2020.
Texas Air Quality Is Terrible—Here’s Why
Newsweek • Oct 5, 2025“September and early October is the peak season for ozone pollution in Texas due to a combination of factors,” Texas State Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon told Newsweek. “First, there's still plenty of sunlight, which makes the photochemistry that produces ozone possible.
Leaner supply has increased the market value of cows in the U.S., with cattle now selling for more than $200 per hundredweight, or 100 pounds, and calves going for almost $400. According to David Anderson, a livestock economist at Texas A&M who spoke with ABC News, this has led many ranchers to sell their cows now to lock in profits instead of keeping them for breeding, given prices may settle in the future.
A research team at Texas A&M University is studying the use of Siri-like virtual assistant technology for use in space. The technology, known as Daphne-AT, could be used to help drive decision-making that requires large amounts of real-time and previously learned data.
"There are many challenges in this containment and eradication program," Phillip Kaufman, a professor of entomology at Texas A&M University, said in an interview with Newsweek. "Producing sufficient numbers of sterile flies and getting them released in the correct places and at the right time is critical. If the flies move further north than the isthmus in southern Mexico, it becomes more and more challenging to contain them."
Pioneering Aerospace Medicine Program to Study Long-Term Effects of Space Travel
Newsweek • May 27, 2025Astronauts undergo years of rigorous training to spend time on the International Space Station. Still, their bodies suffer many changes while they are in microgravity. Texas A&M University's Aerospace Medicine Program is putting long-duration spaceflight at the center of its research and education, a first-of-its-kind initiative.
