Rice U. study: Use your team’s emotions to boost creativity

August 17, 2021

HOUSTON – (Aug. 17, 2021) – If you’re putting together a team for a project, you might be inclined to pick people with cheerful, optimistic dispositions and flexible thinking. But a new management study indicates your team might also benefit from people who are exactly the opposite, according to experts at Rice University, the University of Western Australia, Bond University and the University of Queensland.

Federal recovery funding after a disaster may disproportionally benefit white entrepreneurs, according to new research from Rice University’s Department of Sociology.

Artist's visualization of stellar magnetic activity

'Cool' kids in the cosmos may not be so unique

August 9, 2021

Rice University scientists show that "cool" stars like the sun share dynamic surface behaviors that influence their energetic and magnetic environments. Stellar magnetic activity is key to whether a given star can host planets that support life.

Rice University has launched Carbon Hub, a climate change research initiative to fundamentally change how the world uses hydrocarbons.

Rice expert: Using carbon is key to decarbonizing economy

August 5, 2021
