Emerging Innovations

A method for the generation of high molecular weight polymers in an efficient, rapid, and facile manner.

A multi-DOF sensor-enabled robotic capsule endoscope for painless colonoscopy procedures that are both time and cost effective.

A system that diagnoses vehicle anomalies by cross-validating data from traditional vehicle diagnostics and changes in battery voltage

An effective therapy to boost ATP synthase activity and promote mitochondrial homeostasis.

A technology enabling an adjustable R-value for insulation systems depending on conditions, reducing energy use significantly.

New CRISPR/Cas12a-type nucleases with improved characteristics for targeted editing.

A system that helps enhance energy performance in building by allowing building envelope assemblies to store energy from one side and release it to the other side.

Integrated photonics’ major challenge is the efficient coupling of standard optical fiber to on-chip photonics waveguides and devices. Coupling devices must connect vastly different sized modes while preventing loss of light. This adiabatically tapered fibers coupler is unsuspended and obtains low loss over a large optical bandwidth.

In the US, windows are responsible for 12% of the total energy consumed by the existing US residential and commercial buildings due mostly to uncontrolled solar heat gains. Researchers at CU Boulder have developed PV arrays with sliding overhangs to both generate electricity and reduce heating and cooling thermal loads.

Enterobactin promoting mitochondrial iron uptake, as a potential transformative treatment for iron deficiency disorders.
