Exploring the intersection of materials, chemistry, and design.
: In a move that shocked the animation industry, Warner Bros. Discovery canceled the show and removed it from streaming services as a tax write-off. This made the show legally unavailable to watch in many regions, essentially "wiping" its history from digital platforms. The Resurrection: The Final Chapter
: The show ran for three seasons between 2018 and 2021. It was praised for its balance of absurdity and deep emotional stakes, often featuring "Team Squad" members like the stoic bounty hunter Avocato and the wise Titan Bolo .
Created by Olan Rogers, Final Space followed the intergalactic misadventures of , an energetic astronaut serving a prison sentence aboard the Galaxy One , and Mooncake , a small, green alien with the power to destroy planets.
The story of Final Space is a saga of creative resilience, moving from a viral YouTube pilot to a major network series, only to face a sudden corporate cancellation that left fans in limbo—until now. As of , the series is reaching its long-awaited conclusion through a massive graphic novel titled Final Space: The Final Chapter . The Rise and Fall of the Series

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).
