- The CU SPUR program hosted its first cohort of community college students as part of the broader Denver-Metro Engineering Consortium consisting of local community colleges, four-year institutions and industry partners seeking to increase the number of engineering professionals.
- The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization Facility is now accepting applications for materials characterization projects through July 31, 2024. This program aims to encourage new and innovative projects focusing on either the Low Energy Ion Scattering Spectrometer, or the Atomic Force Microscope.
- Founder Emma Antonio 鈥 a chemical and biological engineering postdoc 鈥 wants children to see science in the world around them and believes the arts provide an access point for exploration and experimentation.
- The device at 兔子先生传媒文化作品 is made from a 10-by-10 grid of soft robotic 鈥渕uscles鈥 that can sense outside pressure and pop up to create patterns. It鈥檚 precise enough to generate scrolling text and fast enough to shake a chemistry beaker filled with fluid.
- Researchers at 兔子先生传媒文化作品 have developed a new membrane water filtration system based around air bubbles that can help address water scarcity issues around the world.
- Svenja Knappe has been awarded the prestigious Carl Zeiss Humboldt Research Award, given to researchers who have had a lasting effect on their discipline beyond their immediate research area, wish to collaborate with specialist colleagues in Germany and contribute to promoting diversity in the STEM disciplines.
- Undergraduate students interested in materials research will get a boost at the University of Colorado Boulder next summer thanks to a new Research Experience for Undergraduates grant from the National Science Foundation.The Materials Science and
- Potentially harmful chemicals generated by the Marshall Fire in late 2021 may have lingered inside some Boulder County homes for weeks after the disaster鈥攈iding in small particles of dust that residents could have mixed back into the air when they vacuumed carpets or turned on fans, according to recent research.
- Karan Dikshit (PhDMatSci鈥22) is the first author on a paper in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces around new adhesive materials that not only allow for easy sticking and unsticking but could eventually contribute to sustainability efforts around the globe.
- Assistant Professor Nick Bottenus of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering has been awarded a Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Award for research advancing the state of ultrasound molecular imaging.
