Science & Technology
Scientists have discovered that they can nudge clouds of ultracold atoms into two distinct phases where those particles behave in completely different ways.
A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.
Researchers in Assistant Professor Christoph Keplinger’s lab released a toolkit to show scientists, hobbyists and entrepreneurs how to create their own artificial muscles. They hope this will bring researchers one step closer to developing wearable, surgical and collaborative robots that safely and effectively help humans.
CU Boulder students, faculty and staff are taking part in TORUS—the largest and most ambitious drone-based investigation of severe thunderstorms ever.
New research from a CU Boulder physicist might break open the mathematical puzzle that has stalled string theory research for decades.
New research shows that hackers, working with limited resources, could send fake emergency alerts to cell phones in a confined area like a sports stadium.
Engineers have developed nanobio-hybrid organisms capable of producing a variety of plastics and fuels, a promising first step toward low-cost carbon sequestration and eco-friendly manufacturing for chemicals.
A large-scale program to deliver water filters and portable biomass-burning cookstoves to Rwandan homes improved health among children, new research finds.
What if buildings could “come alive” by being constructed with hybrid materials that could heal themselves rather than decay and reduce atmospheric carbon rather than contribute to it?
Physicists report they can build and control particles that behave like tiny atoms with a precision never seen before.
