Exploring the intersection of materials, chemistry, and design.
This often leads to a common question:
If you’ve recently opened your list of installed programs on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you might have noticed an app called DTS Sound Unbound . For many users, this software appears automatically after a system update, a driver installation, or when purchasing a new gaming laptop or motherboard.
DTS Sound Unbound is safe to uninstall. It will not harm your computer. However, check if your device includes a free license for DTS audio features — if it does, you might want to keep the app to get your money’s worth. If you uninstall and change your mind, simply reinstall it from the Microsoft Store.

We are proud that the Smart Materials Lab is the leading team in impactful chemistry research in the United Arab Emirates, with research output that, according to the Nature Index, accounts for 40‒60% of the total chemistry publications within the country, both in fractional count and weighed fractional count. The past and current research projects in the Smart Materials Lab have been sponsored by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), Human Science Frontier Program Organization (HFSPO), and the UAE National Research Foundation (NRF), in addition to generous financial support from NYUAD and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The members of the Smart Materials Lab work closely with NYUAD's Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM).
