Researchers explored a fluid-based optical device known as an electrowetting prism to steer lasers at high speeds for advanced imaging applications. This new frontier in miniature lasers opens the door to new technologies in microscopy, LiDAR, optical communications and even brain imaging.
Researchers have identified a brain circuit that helps animals swiftly respond to perceived threats—and dial down that response when they learn there’s no real danger. In people with anxiety disorders, this circuit may be broken.
In reviewing psychological studies, CU Boulder researcher Leaf Van Boven and colleagues find that people prioritize thinking about the future over the past.
Armed with a $6 million contract from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, CU researchers are fast-tracking development of a new way to prevent long-term damage from burns, diabetic ulcers, frostbite, battlefield wounds and more.
The project, like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, combines RNA-based gene therapy with tiny microrobots for drug transport to help treat acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The story of a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a female classmate recently swept the Emmys and is now one of the top streaming shows on Netflix. Criminologist Jillian Turanovic says its portrayal of online radicalization of young men is chillingly accurate.
CU Boulder graduate student researcher Jacob DeRosa delves into the brain's ability to remove unwanted thoughts.
Ultraviolet light can disable airborne allergens within 30 minutes, according to a new study. The findings could lead to new portable devices to prevent allergies or new systems to provide relief from allergens in workplaces and other public spaces.
CU Boulder engineers have developed a new method for making vaccines that combines multiple, timed-release doses into a single injection that doesn't require refrigeration.
CU Boulder scientists have found that playing video games comes with small but significant cognitive benefits.
