Associate Professor Hendrik Heinz and postdoctoral researcher Juan Liu are contributing authors to “Building two-dimensional materials one row at a time: Avoiding the nucleation barrier” in the December 2018 issue of the prestigious journal Science. Working in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering provided Heinz and Liu with some...

Researchers from the University of Colorado and MIT 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. The inspiration behind the work was to keep up with...

Associate Professor and Alvah and Harriet Hovlid Professor Mahmoud Hussein has received a $2.5 million grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA‑E) latest open funding opportunity. The award is among $98 million in funding for 40 new projects across the country being provided by the agency. These funds will...

Fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). (Credit: CC photo by Insects Unlocked via Flickr ) Think of it as mathematics with a bite: Researchers at CU Boulder have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts. The research, published last week in...

CU Boulder engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue. The study, which was recently published in the journal Nature Communications , outlines a layer-by-layer printing method...
