Materials Science and Engineering

Texas A&M researchers have enhanced the dehumidification efficiency of a polymer that could help develop more energy-efficient systems with a smaller carbon footprint.

Texas A&M associate professor Emily Pentzer is being honored for her contributions to the field of polymer and materials science, educating students and her service to the scientific community.

In a new study, Texas A&M researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering describe a new material that comes close to mimicking how brain cells perform computations.

A patch under development by a Texas A&M graduate student and an international team of researchers could help clinicians remotely monitor patients.

The innovation could help speed up the drug discovery process.

Researchers from Texas A&M and the U.S. Army created synthetic materials with morphing abilities that can be 3D printed and self-heal within seconds.

Texas A&M engineering researchers have created mesh-like mats made with tannic acid. Used in bandages or inside food storage containers, they can help promote prolonged antioxidant activity.

Results from the collaboration with scientists from the Air Force Research Laboratory could have applications in the aerospace, automotive and defense industries.

Texas A&M researchers are part of a team that has found that adding silicon to a material used to make body armor can make it more resilient to firearms.
