- CU Boulder computer science Research Professor Kevin Gifford and PhD student Siddhartha Subray are playing a key role in helping to define interoperability standards for the groundbreaking system.
- Testing half the population weekly with inexpensive, rapid-turnaround COVID-19 tests would drive the virus toward elimination within weeks—even if those tests are significantly less sensitive than gold-standard clinical tests, according to a new study published today by CU Boulder and Harvard University researchers.
- The Material Characterization Facility – operated within Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) service center – recently relocated to its permanent home in the Sustainability, Energy and Environment Laboratory building on east campus.
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have released findings that will impact the future of reconfigurable photonic devices and will lead to new possibilities for nanophotonics and microresonators.
- Frost quakes are not particularly rare, but they are harder to observe than traditional earthquakes.
- Researchers at CU Boulder are collaborating to develop a new kind of biocompatible actuator that contracts and relaxes in only one dimension, like muscles. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
- An international team of researchers including Professor Michael Toney has developed a new technique for precisely tracking the movement of ions within batteries, a discovery that may have far-reaching impacts on how safe and efficient batteries are developed. They published their findings in Energy and Environmental Science in September.
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are developing a wearable electronic device that’s “really wearable”—a stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that’s inspired by, and sticks onto, human skin.
- The National Water Research Institute (NWRI) and the Joan Irvine Smith and Athalie R. Clarke Foundation presented the 2020 Clarke Prize to Professor Karl Linden. NWRI administers the prestigious $50,000 prize.
- Researchers at CU Boulder are leading four new NSF-funded projects that are exploring the safety and security of autonomous systems, including those used in self-driving vehicles.
