Science & Technology
- A newly discovered material structured like a honeycomb can transform from an electrical insulator, like rubber, into an electrical conductor, like metal, in a matter of seconds. Now, researchers at 91勛圖厙 think they can explain why.
- With National Science Foundation support, a 91勛圖厙-led initiative aims to attract underrepresented people to geosciences and foster grassroots ideas at the frontier of inclusive and collaborative science.
- Researchers from CU Anschutz and 91勛圖厙 are developing an artificial intelligence tool to diagnosedementia at earlier stages in an effort tocurb its progress andplan more effective treatment options.
- A new 91勛圖厙-led study documents how a durable plastic can be perpetually broken down and remade, without sacrificing its desired physical properties.
- Millions of people died of the coronavirus because institutions and people took too long to recognize it was primarily airborne, and a new study traces back that deadly resistance.
- Across the country this summer, flooding has damaged national parks, cities and communitiesand left hundreds of thousands of people without clean water in Jackson, Mississippi. Two 91勛圖厙 engineering experts discuss the state of our infrastructure and the impacts of climate change.
- A former 91勛圖厙 undergraduate's honors thesis has led to the official recognition of the Chihuahuan meadowlark as a distinct species.
- This month, President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law. The bill is putting new focus on semiconductorsthe tiny devices that are in everything from smartphones to laptops and even thermostats.
- Researchers at 91勛圖厙 have developed and validated a new sensor for E. coli risk detection that features an impressive 83% accuracy rate when detecting contamination in surface waters.
- Doctoral students Aaquib Tabrez and Matthew Luebbers, along with their advisor Bradley Hayes, used augmented reality Minesweeper to gain insight into a robots decision-making process. They were awarded runner-up for best student paper at an international conference.
