From climate change and cancer to artificial intelligence and urban development, Rice researchers are generating innovative solutions that serve society, in Texas and across the globe.
The site highlights key interdisciplinary areas of strength at Rice, including nanoscale science, quantum studies, computing, energy, health innovation and sustainable futures. Visitors can explore how Rice’s research institutes and centers foster collaboration across disciplines and how that synergy is fueling breakthroughs.
