Science & Technology
Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and doctoral student Charles Wade have created an open-source software package that uses functions and code to map not just shapes but where different materials belong in a 3D object. The project has the potential to transform 3D printing by enabling engineers to design multi-material objects more smartly and efficiently.
Like many rockstar scientists, 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics winner John Martinis spent time in Boulder's rich scientific ecosystem. Martinis mentored graduate students and inspired others in quantum computing.
The project, like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, combines RNA-based gene therapy with tiny microrobots for drug transport to help treat acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Researchers from Colorado have brought a quantum device known as an optical atomic clock to the summit of Colorado's Mount Blue Sky. Their work could, one day, help people navigate without GPS or even predict when a volcano is about to erupt.
Associate Professor Luca Corradini is embarking on a power electronics project, thanks to a $1.5 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency—Energy.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ applied mathematician Mark Hoefer and colleagues answer a longstanding question of how to understand tidal bores in multiple dimensions.
In a new study, CU researchers found that honeybees used adaptive strategies to build stable, usable honeycomb on irregular and imperfect surfaces.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ postdoc Catherine Saladrigas is helping bring high-resolution imaging into miniature microscopes for neuroscience research. The research group tackled how to miniaturize complex optical systems without sacrificing resolution or contrast.
A team at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ has made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears that spin forever, even without electricity to keep them going.
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ engineers have developed a new method for making vaccines that combines multiple, timed-release doses into a single injection that doesn't require refrigeration.
