Science & Technology
- CU Boulder engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures.
- A new 3D printing technique allows for localized control of an object's firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
- CU Boulder's Lucy Pao and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) are testing whether turbine blades inspired by palm trees can give wind power an edge.
- The race is on: Researchers from CU Boulder, CU Denver and Scientific Systems Company Inc. have partnered to design drones that can explore underground environments such as subway tunnels, mines and caves.
- Researchers at CU Boulder report that they may have solved a geophysical mystery, pinning down the likely cause of a phenomenon that resembles a wrench in the engine of the planet.Â
- With funding from the National Science Foundation, Juliet Gopinath will work to bring together engineers and physicists to design better tools for quantum computing.
- New research by CU Boulder's Orit Peleg explores how clumps of hundreds of bees stay stable under strain.
- A square peg in a round hole? No problem. New material developed by CU Boulder engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, and back again.
- Physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun.
- A microscopic trampoline could help engineers to overcome a major hurdle for quantum computers, researchers report.
