Research led by Keji Lai used a microwave microcope to see inside of a transistor so thin it is essentially two-dimensional.

Physicist Keji Lai and a faculty member in engineering have been selected to receive Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers.

UT Austin alumnus David Reitze talks about an event that happened in September or more than a billion years ago, depending on how you look at it.

How particle physics can help explore the insides of ancient Mayan pyramids without digging

Scientists from UT Austin once traveled to the Sahara Desert to observe a rare eclipse and used computers to model ripples in space and time unleashed by the mergers of black holes

Answering some of the biggest questions in astrophysics—for example, about black holes and the origin of the universe—might require overhauling general relativity.
