A team of University of Oklahoma materials scientists has done what many in the field thought impossible: magnetize quantum dots by “doping” them with manganese. The implications span everything from how we power our homes to how we build computers, scan for diseases, grow crops and illuminate our world.
On October 2–3, 2025, the University of Oklahoma hosted the second annual Native American Energy in Transition: Old Problems, New Challenges in Indian Country symposium at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History in Norman
Helen Zgurskaya and Valentin Rybenkov are leading a five-year, $5.3 million project funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to find new ways to deliver lifesaving drugs directly into resistant pathogens.
NORMAN, OKLA. – A groundbreaking study published in Nature’s Communications Biology sheds new light on the relationship between bats and dangerous viruses. Led by researchers at the University of Oklahoma, the study shows that contrary to widespread assumptions, not all bats carry viruses with high epidemic potential, only specific groups of species.
The Institute for Community and Society Transformation (ICAST) and the Native Nation Center for Tribal Policy Research (NNC-TPR) hosted the U.S. Department of Energy's Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Tribal Working Group (FECM-TWG) on September 23-25 for their quarterly meeting.
Song Fang, a professor in the School of Computer Science, has been awarded funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation to create training-free detection methods and novel countermeasures to protect sensitive information from emerging wireless eavesdropping techniques.
Marmar Moussa, an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science and Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received a distinguished U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER award to develop advanced computational tools that could transform how scientists study disease at the cellular level, particularly in cancer and tissue remodeling.
A $19.9 million award from the U.S. National Science Foundation will fund the development of two groundbreaking KaRVIR systems (Dual-Doppler 3D Mobile Ka-band Rapid-Scanning Volume Imaging Radars for Earth System Science), state-of-the-art radars that will provide unique capabilities to close critical observational gaps in the atmospheric science community.
