A new mathematical modeling study by ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· scientists suggests a simple scratch-and-sniff test could play an important role in screening for COVID-19. An alumnus has already invented a 50-cent test that interfaces with a smartphone app, and more research is underway.
Unless urgent action is taken, climate change will increasingly threaten global health, disrupt lives and livelihoods, and overwhelm healthcare systems, according to the 2020 Report of the Lancet Countdown involving ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·.
The AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant program announced its inaugural round of grants totaling $625,000 for novel research projects integrating expertise from the CU Anschutz and ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· campuses.
New research shows that broad, national dissemination of frequent, rapid COVID-19 tests could turn the tide on the pandemic within weeks, without shutting down schools and businesses. For curbing infection, test turnaround time is more important than test sensitivity.
New research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
New research shows parental restrictions have few lasting effects on a child's tech use in young adulthood. Also, college students use more tech than they ever have in their lives or ever want to again.
In the spring of 2020, once-busy streets became quiet and empty. In many cities, pedestrians and bicycles filled city streets instead of cars. What could this mean for the future of our cities and transportation systems?
Findings could lead to new therapies for hard-to-treat cancers and even neurological diseases and rare developmental disorders.
The highest court in sports ruled that Blake Leeper cannot compete in the Olympic Games in Tokyo because his prostheses give him a competitive advantage. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· studies suggest otherwise, and the researchers who conducted those studies say the ruling is discriminatory.
Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken at least a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers have developed a way to diagnose these conditions with greater precision in only one minute.
