- Scientists at LongPath and CU Boulder are using new laser technology to do what other technologies have struggled to do for years: detect natural gas, which is invisible to the eye, leaking from pipes at sites like this, in real time.
- the AB Nexus program announced its fourth round of grant awards to faculty from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the University of Colorado Boulder.
- The CU Boulder team decided to make their project in the wearables space just a little more … fabulous.
- Department of Computer Science assistant professor Chris Heckman and CIRES research hydrologist Toby Minear have been awarded a Grand Challenge Research & Innovation Seed Grant to create an instrument that could revolutionize our understanding of the amount of water in our rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas by greatly increasing the places where we measure it.
- Pre-tenure faculty whose research, scholarship and creative work were stalled by COVID-19 can now apply for new Thrive Grants in a partnership program launched by the Office of Faculty Affairs, and co-sponsored by the Boulder Faculty Assembly and the Research and Innovation Office.
- Presentation materials from the Interdisciplinary Research Theme Blitz and Poster Session held in early April are now available online for review by the CU Boulder community.
- A major research center on autonomous air mobility and sensing has been founded at CU Boulder, in partnership with the National Science Foundation.
- LASP and Aerospace Engineering researchers will use the funds to advance their concept of a futuristic swarm of satellites to shed new light on how the solar wind affects Earth’s upper atmosphere.
- Eric Wustrow plans to explore how censorship can be fought from within networks using passive measurement and circumvention tools at Internet service providers (ISPs).
- A new initiative between the College of Engineering and Applied Science and Sandia National Laboratories aims to develop areas of mutual research interest and support broader STEM workforce development among graduate students.
