A new strategy for measuring magnetic fields could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensors—from tools that might map out the activity of the human brain to devices that could help airplane pilots navigate the globe.
Last year, CU Boulder helped to launch a record 35 new companies. These businesses are pioneering new technologies from sensors for monitoring soil health to breathalyzers that can sniff out signs of lung cancer.
Space is full of really big things, like the sun or the black hole at the center of our galaxy. But the largest structures in the universe are much bigger than both of them, says astrophysicist Jeremy Darling.
As the clock ticks down for TikTok, Casey Fiesler, a technology ethicist at CU Boulder, says that U.S. lawmakers are focusing on the harms of social media and not the benefits.
Scientists use devices known as frequency comb lasers to search for methane in the air above oil and gas operations and to screen for signs of infection in human breath. A new study from CU Boulder could help make these sensors even more precise.
A new quantum incubator coming to Colorado will provide private companies with a testbed to transform ideas for quantum technologies into products that will benefit consumers in the Mountain West and beyond.
Dust storms on Mars could one day pose dangers to human astronauts, damaging equipment and burying solar panels. New research gets closer to predicting when extreme weather might erupt on the Red Planet.
CU Boulder graduate student Dezell Turner has borrowed inspiration from his favorite sci-fi films to design an augmented reality tool that could one day help aerospace companies plan their routes from Earth to the moon.
Deep in the universe lurk a population of mysterious, red galaxies that, until recently, were all but invisible to scientists. Now, astrophysicists at CU Boulder have drawn on new observations to learn more about these objects.
Millions of Android phones across the globe have helped to capture the swirls and bubbles in Earth's atmosphere high above the surface in incredible detail.
