UT Dallas Chemists Create Self‑Repairing, 3D-Printed Foam That’s Made to Flex and Last
by Lance Murray | Jun 17, 2025
The lightweight, recyclable material can be printed into complex shapes—including a balloon dog—and shows potential for use in helmets, insulation, and more. The research explores a method still largely untapped in commercial manufacturing.

Lee is one of three UT Arlington faculty members who've been awarded $1.6 million from the Department of Energy to help boost the reliability of Texas's electric grid. The team is exploring the use of "behind-the-meter" energy devices that may help cut down on electricity consumption—and even upload energy to the grid itself, writes Fort Worth Report's Shomial Ahmad.

Plano-Based Toyota Partners with the DOE on a $6.5M Megawatt-Scale Fuel Cell Project
by David Seeley | Aug 24, 2022
Fuel cells for cars? Think bigger—because Toyota sure is. After developing hydrogen fuel cell technology for over 25 years, mostly aimed at carbon-zero vehicles, the company is scaling up the tech for uses far beyond cars. Now it's working with the U.S. government to build a system that can add energy to the grid, power things like data centers, and more.

Dallas-based Hunt Perovskite Technologies, part of Hunt Consolidated Inc, is one of the 22 selected for a new program from the DOE dedicated to making perovskite photovoltaic devices commercially available. If validated, the tech could make solar cells more efficient at a lower cost—but first, the projects have to overcome the issue of it being too unstable to commercially use.
