Science & Technology
- The price tag for developing AI models like ChatGPT or Google's Gemini is climbing, putting these tools outside the reach of all but the biggest corporations. An approach called "neurosymbolic" AI could help, says CU Boulder computer scientist Alvaro Velasquez.
- Materials researchers are getting a big boost from a new database created by a team led by Hendrik Heinz.
- Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram, in collaboration with Laura Blumenschein, has received a $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a tiny robot super team capable of navigating a complex maze of machinery and squeeze through the tightest of spaces—like the guts of a jet engine—to potentially perform non-destructive evaluation faster, cheaper and better than ever before.
- Ramin Ayanzadeh's research focuses on trustworthy quantum computing to enhance the reliability and security of quantum systems. To his knowledge, he's the only faculty member in the region who focuses on quantum software, systems and the architecture of quantum computers.
- Within our lifetimes, it could be common for people to interact with life-like digital avatars of the dead. New research explores their promise and peril.
- Disneyland for physicists: Breakthrough Prize honors scientists at world's largest particle colliderThis year's award recognized the work of four international research collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider, including 32 current and former physicists at CU Boulder.
- Audiology doctoral students are transforming hearing conservation for student musicians with custom solutions—helping 114 individuals and counting.
- Assistant Professor Longji Cui and his team have developed a new technique that allows them to measure phonon interference inside a tiny molecule. They believe this discovery can one day revolutionize how heat dissipation is managed in future electronics and materials.
- Recycling is extremely difficult for objects built with more than one type of plastic. Michael Rivera and the Utility Research Lab team have developed a novel way to disassemble 3D-printed objects for easy recycling.
- Quantum Scholars Emily Jerris and Annalise Cabra started CU Women of Quantum to help women interested in careers in quantum to network and share experiences.
