What are the Chemistry and Materials Limitations to Advancing Lithium Batteries to the Next Level? Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham, Chemistry Department, State University of New York at Binghamton Date: Monday, September 16 at 2pm Location: SEEC, Room S228 Abstract: Over the last 40 years, lithium batteries have come from a...

A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by CU Boulder researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.

CU Boulder researchers have developed nanobio-hybrid organisms capable of using airborne carbon dioxide and nitrogen to produce a variety of plastics and fuels, a promising first step toward low-cost carbon sequestration and eco-friendly manufacturing for chemicals.

Global Intensives –piloted by CU Boulder for the first time in spring 2018–are short-term global programs embedded into on-campus, faculty-led courses. All include a 10- to 12-day immersion abroad that complements and expands on the material studied throughout the semester.
