The proliferation of plastic products has created an environmental challenge: what should be done with unusable, discarded plastic waste that can harm the environment? Faculty from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering are working on a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project, Hydrogenolysis for Upcycling of Polyesters and Mixed Plastics, to address this serious environmental issue.
After a year when the nation experienced a shortage of mechanical ventilators to help treat patients with severe COVID-19 complications, Professor Mark Borden's company Respirogen presents another treatment option: oxygen microbubbles.
A specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light is not only extremely effective at killing the virus which causes COVID-19, but is also safer for use in public spaces, finds new ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ research.
The study, published this month in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, is the first to comprehensively analyze the effects of different wavelengths of UV light on SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses, including the only wavelength safer for living beings to be exposed to without protection.
DARPA recognized the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ group, named Multi-agent Autonomy with Radar-Based Localization for Exploration (MARBLE), Friday, Sept. 24, at a prize ceremony in Kentucky.
Laurel Hind is an Assistant Professor of Chemical & Biological Engineering studying the innate immune response to infection using engineered models.
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) is excited to recognize the significant, wide-ranging contributions of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ postdocs during National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW), September 20-24.
Lindsay Kirk (AeroEngr’08) fully realizes her day job at NASA’s Johnson Space Center as part of the Commercial Crew Program is a special one.
Researchers at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ will take part in a $25 million effort to study a natural resource that’s becoming increasingly in demand: the radio frequency spectrum.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ is a founding partner of a major National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center (STC): the Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD). The center represents a research partnership spanning 11 universities led by the University of Washington.
The University of Colorado Boulder has received a $2 million gift from The Anschutz Foundation to support the university’s diverse research in aerospace and national defense—from tracking and protecting satellites in orbit to improving the security of mobile devices.
