Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram sees nature as a giant catalogue of design ideas. Engineers can “leaf through” it to see how various species have overcome problems–many of the solutions exquisitely developed over time to perfection.
After decades of work to make robots more and more capable of helping humans, robotic systems have become ever-present in our daily lives, helping with tasks big and small.
New research at CU Boulder, funded by a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, aims to create a new system to study the mechanical properties of cells using surface acoustic waves.
Associate Professor Gregory Whiting and his research group are preparing for the thrill of a lifetime: two parabolic flights, each expected to provide around ten total minutes of reduced gravity to test and model how 3D printing of functional materials works in lunar gravity.
Assistant Professor Orit Peleg explores what we can learn from bees and nature that can then be applied to engineering.
Assistant professors Dimitra Psychogiou and Emiliano Dall’Anese of electrical, computer and energy engineering won for innovative proposals focused on radio frequency spectrum access and algorithmic control of networks, respectively.
Associate Professor Evan Thomas offers analysis for The Conversation, writing: "One way to improve drought resilience is to improve the management of groundwater."
Assistant Professor Christoffer Heckman offers analysis for The Conversation, writing: "What is this technology, which is already being used and marketed, and why is it raising concerns?"
The way nutrients and drugs move within the body has more in common with space-bound rockets and jets than you might think. Jim Brasseur, research professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences “It's a mechanics problem,” said
A major new study from an international team of researchers, including Michael Gooseff of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, reveals how rapidly the Arctic is warming.
