Colorado has big quantum chops, but is the workforce ready? A new quantum workforce roadmap led by CU Boulder lays out a bold and inclusive plan for Colorado and the Mountain West.
Quantum physicists at CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology are paving the way for new kinds of optical atomic clocks, devices that track the passage of time by measuring the natural “ticking” of atoms.
Two longtime friends, CU Boulder’s Abbie Liel and Notre Dame’s Susan Ostermann, are leading a study on resilient housing in disaster-prone areas including Maui, Alaska and Puerto Rico. Their research combines Liel’s expertise in structural engineering with Ostermann’s background in political science and law.
Colorado’s burgeoning role in the quantum revolution was in the spotlight as U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves made an official visit to CU Boulder and JILA, a joint institute of CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
If there’s anything that unites humans, it’s kicking back with a cool pint, says Travis Rupp, also known as the “Beer Archaeologist.” He weighs in on the age-old practice in the inaugural edition of CUriosity, a new series from CU Boulder Today.
A new, wide-ranging exploration of human remains casts doubt on a long-standing theory in archaeology known as the Kurgan hypothesis—which, among other claims, suggests that humans first domesticated horses as early as the fourth millennium B.C.
Professor Hendrik Heinz and his CU Boulder team, along with collaborators from the University of California, Los Angeles, achieved a breakthrough that could boost clean energy production.
