Science & Technology
- Researchers have discovered how magnets recover after being blasted by a laser. It turns out, they act a bit like oil and water in a jar.
- Researchers show that they can trap and load lone atoms into large grids with an efficiency unmatched by current methods.
- Color-changing tattoos? Nanotechnology research at CU Boulder could lead to new ways in the future to protect against skin cancer or simply increase the ‘wow’ factor of body art.
- New research from CU Boulder focuses on how light can manipulate the shape of man-made materials by emulating these amazing cephalopods.
- A new study debunks a popular, two-decade-old theory about the shape of networks.
- Students in a new class offered by the ATLAS Institute are stretching their technological and design skills by taking on a challenge straight from a heist movie.
- Carson Bruns is working to put body art to use, designing high-tech inks that may one day signal your temperature or changes in blood chemistry.
- Engineers are designing new sensors for a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs project to create prosthetic limbs with a sense of touch.
- Daniel Szafir's work may pave the way for fleets of automated assistants that will one day help people carry out a range of tasks—from fighting wildfires to building craft projects in the home.
- Researchers have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.
