Science & Technology
- Creator and scholar Steven Frost says a much-hated Apple ad is standing in for a larger conversation about how tech companies build and deploy artificial intelligence.
- Up to 40 undergraduates will receive a $2,500 fellowship for participating in Quantum Scholars this year, thanks to generous support from new industry and alumni partners.
- A new facility will give researchers from Colorado and across the country a space to think up and design devices that tap into the world of atoms and even smaller things—potentially leading to new sensors, ultra-fast computer chips and more.
- When it comes to OpenAI’s deals with national media providers, CMCI’s faculty experts have questions—expecting more agreements like this in the future.
- Researchers in Ankur Gupta’s lab discovered how ions move within a complex network of minuscule pores. The breakthrough could lead to the development of more efficient energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors, enabling fast charging of electric vehicles and more.
- At a ceremony May 28 on the CU Boulder campus, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis ushered in a new bill to support the state’s rapidly growing quantum industry.
- CU Boulder researchers have found certain parasites congregate in certain parts of amphibians’ bodies, often to dire physical consequences.
- JILA, a joint institute between CU Boulder and NIST, was represented at the inaugural NSF Quantum Showcase on Capitol Hill. Attending were Professor Heather Lewandowski and graduate student Qizhong Liang, a member of Jun Ye’s research group.
- Amir Behzadan, professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, hosted a workshop where participants were introduced to human-centered AI applications in disaster management and encouraged to work toward ways to adopt AI-informed solutions.
- Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists because of the tendency for atoms to recoil. In a new paper, JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey and James Thompson, JILA Fellow Murray Holland, and their teams proposed a way to overcome this problem.
