  • DYNAMIC targets the Lower Thermosphere Ionosphere (LTI) altitude region
    A joint proposal of the University of Colorado Boulder and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland has earned a $2 million award for a NASA mission concept study.
  • The exterior of the Engineering Center as viewed from the east
    When compared with its public university peers, the College of Engineering and Applied Science’s graduate program was ranked No. 12. The college was ranked No. 23 overall when compared to both public and private universities.
  • A hand holding three coils of multicolored biofiber thread
    In a new study, a team of ATLAS Institute engineers and designers developed a DIY machine that spins textile fibers made of materials like sustainably sourced gelatin. The group’s “biofibers” feel a bit like flax fiber and dissolve in hot water in minutes to an hour.

    CU Boulder professor secures $800,000 NASA Grant

    Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites.

    Ghobadi-Far has earned an $800,000 grant from NASA to analyze data from the GRACE-FO satellites, which measure variations in Earth’s gravitational field. Although gravity may appear constant to humans, it actually fluctuates across Earth’s surface in ways that can be valuable to climate science.
