Science & Technology
- 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.
- CU Boulder engineers are creating living hybrid building materials that exhibit both structural and biological function.
- At a recent event, students shared their ideas for how the U.S. Armed Forces can keep up with an increasingly connected world—from a strategy for resupplying ships using autonomous capsules to a device that detects GPS jamming signals.
- Colorado nail salon employees face increased health risks due to high levels of indoor airborne pollutants akin to an oil refinery or an auto garage.
- A new and unique high-resolution X-ray microtomography imaging system at the College of Engineering & Applied Science will enhance research, not only in engineering but in the fields of archaeology, geology and medicine.
