Science & Technology
- With a project called Tinycade, graduate student Peter Gyory has set out to recreate that arcade parlor experience from childhood—entirely out of junk.
- A new study of rattlesnakes in the western U.S. sheds light on how the reptiles evolve over time to keep up with prey resistance to their venom.
- The Living Materials Laboratory is scaling up the manufacture of carbon-neutral cement as well as cement products, which can slowly pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it.
- Qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers, are as fragile as snowflakes. Now, researchers have come up with a new way of reading out the information from certain kinds of qubits with a light touch, potentially paving the way for a quantum internet.
- New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy.
- The same visual trick, called 'structural color,' that makes peacock feathers green and butterfly wings blue gives these Colorado berries their brilliant hue, new research has found.
- Among many interdisciplinary efforts, scientists are using the power and promise of remote sensing to help solve food supply, pollution and water scarcity problems around the globe.
- Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano and her team are working on a wearable item for drag queens that could also help address common problems in wearable technology.
- CU Boulder scientists have successfully synthesized graphyne, which has been theorized for decades but never successfully produced.
- CU Boulder will lead a five-year, $10 million National Science Foundation-funded initiative to reimagine cyberinfrastructure user support services and delivery to keep pace with the evolving needs of academic scientific researchers.
