Assistant Professor Mirela Alistar and postdoctoral researcher Joshua Johnson are working to develop nanorobots that more quickly and accurately build DNA to meet researchers' specifications in a matter of days instead of weeks.
Research Professor Jacob Segil collaborated with Dr. Omer Mei Dan from the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine to create a redesigned surgical instrument that has been used in over 100 successful surgeries.
A new international study sheds light on why the 55-and-older set tends to share more fake news on social media—and what can be done about it.
New research shows that cellular storage units known as “P bodies” play a critical role in cell differentiation. The findings could open new avenues for fertility treatments and regenerative medicine.
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.
A new study of the 'massacre generation' reveals deep divisions along gender and party lines in sentiments about firearms.
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.
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.
