Professor Chris Myers is developing data standards that could make synthetic biology more predictable and help AI become a more effective research tool.
Researchers in CU Boulder's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are taking a closer look at the drought-recovery efforts of these beloved blooms.
CU Boulder engineer Ankur Gupta discusses how AI, paired with rigorous human verification, helped answer a decades-old fluid mechanics question in just five weeks.
New research investigates the shifting patterns of odors as they travel through the air. The findings may help explain how animals navigate using smell and eventually inform development of odor-finding robots.
CU Boulder Professor Emeritus Gifford Miller contributed to a study that sheds new light on the extinction of one of Australia's oversized flightless birds—and could help scientists answer bigger questions about extinction.
Affordable, reliable energy storage is one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy—CU Boulder engineering researchers are developing next-generation batteries to help solve it.
Research led by the CU Museum of Natural History produced one of the most comprehensive estimates of Earth's insect diversity to date, suggesting 8 to 14 million insect species remain undiscovered.
CU Boulder was awarded more than $2.4 million in grants for the U.S. Department of Energy's highly competitive Genesis Mission. The science behind the awards will involve controlling fusion energy from the sun, predicting hyperlocal flooding and more.
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, now dominate Earth's flora, but biologists thought they truly took off only after an asteroid impact 66 million years ago. A "botanical Pompeii" containing fossilized seeds and fruits shows they prospered 10 million years earlier.
A collaboration between CU Boulder and CU Anschutz researchers led to the CAP-LIFT cannula, a redesigned surgical instrument that is making arthroscopic hip procedures safer and more efficient.
