Research Highlights Discoveries and Accomplishments Beginning in 1899, when three CU-Boulder students transmitted electromagnetic waves from one end of the Hale Science Building to the other without the use of wires, faculty and students have continued the tradition of groundbreaking research. From the inner workings of cells to supernovae, researchers have made a number of important findings in the past 125 years. Read about recent discoveries. Peak Experiences in Science CU-Boulder is a member of the prestigious Science Coalition, representing more than 400 organizations dedicated to expanding and strengthening the federal government's investment in university-based scientific, medical, engineering and agricultural research. Read about the development of a prototype X-ray telescope that will exceed the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope by 300,000 times, a novel method to identify healthy embryos for in-vitro fertilization, and a number of other discoveries on Science Coalition web site. Exploring the First Century of Research at CU In 1876, Old Main stood alone on a windswept hill south of Boulder, ready to welcome the first University of Colorado students. At the time, few would have dreamed the solitary building would evolve into one of the finest public research universities in the nation. Read the Carillon article. Research Institutes and Centers The long-standing tradition of having dozens of interdisciplinary research institutes and centers on campus has been a major contributor to the research success and national reputation of CU-Boulder. Last year, 70 percent of the sponsored research funding - about $150 million - went to these institutes and centers. View the list of research institutes and centers. |
