The annual top 10 research news list is based on UCF Today page views and coverage UCF research received by global, national, state and local media.

A tenure-track position is the unicorn of academia, but students are finding jobs after earning their doctorate degrees at UCF and going onto places like NC State, Notre Dame, and the University of Toronto.

STEM student Isabella Pardo is one of 20 recipients across the globe selected for the highly competitive optics and photonics award.

The device could lead to advanced artificial intelligence that can instantly recognize what it sees and has applications in self-driving vehicles and robotics.

The materials they are developing could allow for faster photonic computers that use less energy and could also one day lead to quantum computing.

Current tests can take up to 30 minutes, which is too long when every second counts — especially during surgery on infants.

UCF faculty help plan and execute events to mark the U.S. kickoff of the International Year of Glass in the nation’s capital this week.

The lightweight, supercapacitor-battery hybrid composite material provides power and is as strong as steel.

Optics Professor Kathleen Richardson was part of the group that made the bid to designate 2022 the year of glass.
