This week's top research features a new JILA atomic clock that can outperform all its predecessors, light-activated nanoparticles that boost effectiveness of antibiotic treatments and a miniature microscope that allows researchers to see inside the living brain.
New JILA atomic clock can outperform all predecessors
JILA physicists have created an atomic clock that reaches the same level of precision as its predecessors but more than 20 times faster, promising improved measurements and technologies across many areas.
Light-activated nanoparticles can supercharge current antibiotics
Light-activated nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots, can provide a crucial boost in effectiveness for antibiotic treatments used to combat drug-resistant superbugs such as E. coli and Salmonella.
CU researchers win prestigious $2 million grant for brain study
CU Anschutz and CU Boulder scientists will refine and expand use of their unique miniature microscope as part of a National Institutes of Health initiative to revolutionize understanding of the brain.
