Science & Technology
- For nearly two decades, physicists at JILA have pioneered record-fast lasers that can fit on a table and have chilled clouds of atoms to just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. With a new award, their work is just getting started.
- New CU Boulder research shows that bacteria harness physical laws to operate at the edge of chaos and use calcium to independently diversify and find a place to settle down.
- Coffee could be the key to reducing 3D printing waste, according to a new study. Researchers with the ATLAS Institute and Department of Computer Science developed a method for 3D printing using a paste made out of old coffee grounds.
- Researchers from CU Boulder will take part in a new $30 million center to examine the potential for sound to revolutionize computing, communications, sensing disease in human tissue and more.
- Imagine a robot that can wedge itself through the cracks in rubble to search for survivors trapped in the wreckage of a collapsed building. Engineers at CU Boulder are moving one step closer to that goal with CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect.
- Sanghamitra Neogi has earned a $1 million Department of Defense contract to tackle a big problem with tiny electronics: microchips crippled by heat.
- Researchers led by JILA and NIST fellows Jun Ye and David Nesbitt along with scientists from other universities have observed novel ergodicity-breaking in C60, a highly symmetric molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged on the vertices of a soccer ball pattern.
- An expert from the College of Media, Communication and Information assesses the media landscape as The New York Times and the Associated Press chart different courses on generative artificial intelligence.
- Associate Professor Mija Hubler and her team of researchers and partners are developing a technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. The project has landed a $10 million Department of Defense grant.
- CU Boulder theater instructor Jordan Feeler learned how to troubleshoot sparkly homages to Michael Jackson and illuminated magician props while working with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas.
