Researchers at CU Boulder are using experiments and computations in a new sloping wind tunnel to study how wildfires form and move across different landscapes; applying cutting edge research tools to understand an old problem that Colorado has become quite familiar with in recent years.

A new paper in Nature Photonics from researchers at CU Boulder details impressive improvements in the ability to control the propagation and interaction of light in complex media such as tissue – an area with many potential applications in the medical field.

Professor Keith Molenaar presented research confirming the benefits of the “design-build” delivery system at the Construction Industry Institute’s Annual Conference this month in San Diego, California.

Luis Zea is investigating the possibility of mining metals from asteroids in space using an unlikely agent: bacteria.It may sound like science fiction, but so-called biomining is already a reality on Earth. Now, Zea, and his co-investigator Jesse

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new technique that can study friction between soft materials like those inside the body, paving the way for improvements to medical devices used by millions each year.

PhD student demonstrates that the odd-shaped beam can be used to create a miniature stimulated emission depletion microscope capable of studying brain activity in freely behaving animals.

Associate Professor Greg Rieker has been awarded two of the top international awards in his field. After receiving the Peter Werle Early Career Scientist Award in September 2018, he was selected to receive the Hiroshi Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award in April 2019.

Fifty years ago today, the command module of the Apollo 11 spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, safely returning the first astronauts to set foot on the moon. Now, students from Colorado and across the world will continue that legacy

Distinguished Professor Chris Bowman is donating his lab's royalties from a patent toward the formation of a new endowed faculty position.

OnCue talked to Professor Eric Frew about how drones are contributing to cutting edge storm research, long travel days with the project, and expectation versus reality in the '90s classic tornado movie "Twister."
