Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have developed a groundbreaking microprocessor chip that uses light, rather than electricity, to transfer data at rapid speeds while consuming minute amounts of energy.

Join us for a free information session on graduate student opportunities in optics, nanostructures and bioengineering! The session at 1 p.m. MT on Monday, Oct. 26, will feature a brief presentation about the research activities of the group members, followed by a live question-and-answer session with several faculty members. To...

Shrinky Dinks used to recreate shape memory polymer research being done on the nano scale in McLeod Group.

Jae-Woong Jeong constructs optofluidic implant that could make drug therapies more targeted with fewer side effects.

OptiBit's technology -- including research from Milos Popovic's lab -- helps data centers save 10% on energy use while also increasing performance.

The idea for Garret Moddel's most recent patent - his 30th - has been in the works for nearly as many years. Moddel, professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at CU-Boulder, was issued a patent in August for geometric diode, applications and method , a technology...

Jelena Notaros, a third-year undergraduate student in electrical engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, has always wanted to apply her enjoyment of mathematics and physics to solve important, real-world problems in technology. When she was invited last spring by Professor Milos Popovic to join his Nanophotonic Systems Laboratory as...

As an undergraduate in CU-Boulder's Electrical, Energy and Computer Engineering department, Chris Poulton tried working in several labs before finding his calling designing silicon photonic devices in Professor Milos Popovic's Nanophotonic Systems Laboratory . "It's quite amazing that a lab in this field is here at CU," Poulton said. "There...

In order to understand diseases like Parkinson's, researchers need to look at individual neurons in the brain. However, with current techniques, nearly 75 percent of the brain is inaccessible. ECEE Assistant Professor Juliet Gopinath and her research team want to change that. They've received a $1 million grant from the...

Won Park was hoping the result of the in vitro bladder cancer experiment using his nanoparticle technology wouldn't just leave him seeing red.
