Multi drug resistance

Chemical synthesis breakthrough holds promise for future antibiotics

Dec. 21, 2018

CU Boulder chemistry researchers have developed a novel way to synthesize and optimize a naturally-occurring antibiotic compound that could one day be used to fight lethal drug-resistant infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA.

Dr. Daniel Kroupa, Washington Research Foundation Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow in Clean Energy

CU Alum, Daniel Kroupa, has been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30: Energy for 2019!

Dec. 21, 2018

Dan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Arthur Nozik here at CU Boulder in 2017 and is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Clean Energy Institute at the University of Washington. "Dr. Kroupa’s research on perovskite thin films could create an efficiency breakthrough for solar photovoltaics when integrated with silicon panels".

Using a new manufacturing technique, MIT researchers fabricated a 3-D transistor less than half the width of today’s slimmest commercial models, which could help cram far more transistors onto a single computer chip. Pictured is a cross-section of one of the researchers’ transistors that measures only 3 nanometers wide.

Using thermal atomic layer etching, Steve George's group collaboration with MIT has fabricated the smallest 3-D transistor to date

Dec. 7, 2018

Researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a novel microfabrication technique that modifies semiconductor material atom by atom.
