Emerging Innovations
- Researchers from CU Boulder have developed a design for an optical device (‘3D-FAST’) that allows for rapid, real-time volumetric neural recording and precise optical stimulation. 3D-FAST will achieve unparalleled access to, and modulation of, neural circuitry in the cortex.
- Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a novel process for producing high-purity CBDA. Since CBDA rapidly breaks down, it can be difficult to isolate. This process converts CBD to CBDA in a single step. The end result is desirable for researchers as it is chemically pure, odorless and colorless.
- Air traffic congestion due to weather hazards causes millions of dollars in lost airline profit each year. This new method of determining optimum flow patterns for airplanes combines weather data with historical air traffic data to ensure efficient planning and reduced traffic constriction.
- The newly discovered role of enterobactin in promoting mitochondrial iron uptake and animal health may present a potentially transformative treatment of nutrient deficiency disorder.Â
- With no known treatments for mitochondrial diseases or ATP synthase deficiency, the use of muropeptides as an ATP agonist is a significant discovery.
- Using the fast-growing and filamentous fungi, Neurospora crassa, to improve the growth conditions of crops and woody biomass
- This new method determines the best flow patterns for airplanes during hazardous weather events.
- A system to decode optically pumped magnetometers to identify the transmitted encoded information.
- This system combines power and energy-optimized battery cells to provide 50% more electric vehicle range than a traditional battery.
- This invention maps changes in magnetic field strength to changes in actuator shape without seeing noise from the actuator or reducing performance
