Science & Technology
- Physicists at CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made record-breaking measures of electrons, finding that these tiny particles may be more round- than egg-shaped. Their results could bring scientists closer to answering a profound mystery of existence.
- Could technology like smart watches and mobile apps change how patients manage Type 1 diabetes? A $1.2 million grant is helping faculty explore ways to give patients a better quality of life.
- CU Boulder engineers have designed a new class of "microrobots" several times smaller than the width of a human hair that may be able to treat human illnesses like interstitial cystitis鈥攁 painful bladder disease that affects millions of Americans.
- CU Boulder has long been recognized as a global leader in quantum research and education. A new grant, awarded recently by the State of Colorado鈥檚 Economic Development Commission, takes that one step further by investing in the 鈥渜uantum ecosystem鈥 across the state.
- CU Boulder's Allie Anderson and Torin Clark are conducting research into how humans and artificial intelligence systems work together. The pair are part of a multi-university research team commissioned by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
- Brad Wham, an assistant research professor, was a member of one of the three Learning From Earthquakes reconnaissance teams that traveled to Turkey in March. The team specifically looked at lifeline systems including energy, transportation, water and wastewater.
- Biodesign researcher Fiona Bell says that anyone, anywhere can grow their own clothing right from their kitchens. You start by brewing a batch of kombucha.
- Researchers have figured out a way to predict bacteria鈥檚 environmental pH preferences from a quick look at their genomes, using machine learning. Led by experts at CU Boulder, the new approach promises to help guide ecological restoration efforts, agriculture and even the development of health-related probiotics.
- In taking its technology from the lab to the streets, Solid Power is changing how electric vehicles run with less expensive, more efficient and safer battery technology.
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology has made a $94.5 million cooperative agreement to continue successful NIST-CU Boulder collaboration.
