On Dec. 30, 2021, one of the most destructive wildfires on record in Colorado swept through neighborhoods just a few miles from the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. The flames destroyed over 1,000 buildings, yet some houses were still completely
On Dec. 30, 2021, a quick-moving, grass-fueled wildfire in suburban 51³Ô¹ÏÍø County became the costliest wildfire in Colorado history. It burned 6,000 acres, destroyed more than 1,000 homes and damaged thousands of others.Hundreds of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø
Put people in poorly ventilated rooms, where coronavirus-containing aerosols are trapped in the air with nowhere to go, and their risk of getting COVID-19 skyrockets. Research has shown that you can decrease the risk by ventilating the room and
Thanks to new 51³Ô¹ÏÍø research, scientists see the impact of flushing the toilet in a whole new light—and now, the world can as well.Using bright green lasers and camera equipment, a team of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø engineers ran an experiment to reveal how
A new water quality sensor developed by engineers at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø can quickly, cheaply and accurately monitor for the presence of E. coli bacteria in water supplies, an issue that may affect more people in the U.S. and around the world in the future.

The three largest wildfires in Colorado’s known history all occurred in 2020. More than 600,000 acres burned, with the Cameron Peak Fire alone causing $6 million in property damage. Fernando Rosario-Ortiz Professor, Environmental Engineering
The classrooms of Barnum Elementary School in Denver echo with the chatter of students and the instruction of teachers. The white, waist-high, curved machine in the corner is quiet as can be.The machine, which looks like a less-complicated R2D2,
A new publication headed by the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering seeks to create better alignment among academic programs and sector needs when it comes to training engineers in global development.The publication comes after the center hosted
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society, today announced that three 51³Ô¹ÏÍø researchers will join the ranks of its newest class of AAAS Fellows. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty named
