Science & Technology
- Researchers from JILA, Yale University and the University of California, Berkeley, have used an innovative technique called "quantum squeezing" to dramatically speed up the search for one candidate for dark matter in the lab.
- A team of engineers has developed a new device that you can wear like a ring or bracelet and that harvests energy from your own body heat.
- New kinds of liquid crystals developed at CU Boulder resemble gypsum or lazulite crystals—except they flow like fluids.
- Long before the pandemic sent people scrambling into isolation, musicians longed to jam virtually with others across the globe. But online jamming isn’t feasible because of latency, the tiny delay that occurs when data travels from one point to the next.
- A CU Boulder philosopher and planetary scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science argue that the existing system of mineral classification fails to account for mineral evolution.
- From diving Neanderthals to saliva-based COVID-19 tests, we remember the year in research at CU Boulder.
- CU Boulder’s CUbit and ColdQuanta together have made the Bose-Einstein lab available on the cloud.
- If a tsunami formed along the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast of Oregon, residents might have just 20 to 30 minutes to get to safety. Scientists have proposed a new forecasting system that could provide seaside towns with critical early warnings.
- CU Boulder researchers are leading a $496,000 grant to design an artificial intelligence system to better forecast solar magnetic eruptions on the sun.
- Companies are eager to create and perfect new technologies, requiring training a new kind of workforce. Universities are adapting their curricula. But what exactly do jobs for this "second quantum revolution" require and what kind of work in this realm is out there?
