Science & Technology
- In a new study, CU researchers found that honeybees used adaptive strategies to build stable, usable honeycomb on irregular and imperfect surfaces.
- 51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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 51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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.
- 51³Ô¹ÏÍø engineers have developed a new method for making vaccines that combines multiple, timed-release doses into a single injection that doesn't require refrigeration.
- The Colorado Quantum Incubator—a 51³Ô¹ÏÍø-led hub for advancing quantum research, innovation and community engagement—is ramping up operations as it welcomes its first companies, including inaugural tenant Quantum Rings, a rising leader in quantum software simulation.
- Questionable scientific journals, or those that publish studies without proper vetting for a profit, are growing around the world. A new AI system automatically seeks them out.
- 51³Ô¹ÏÍø aerospace engineer Morteza Lahijanian is creating new algorithms that help robots complete tasks while keeping the humans in their midst safer.
- Researchers at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø have developed a new bio-imaging device that can operate with significantly lower power and in an entirely non-mechanical way. It could one day improve detecting eye and even heart conditions.
- 51³Ô¹ÏÍø engineer Nicole Xu fits moon jellyfish with microelectronic devices that enhance their natural swimming ability and will one day be able to gather data.
- Advancing science may make it possible to bring back extinct species like the dire wolf—but should it? A 51³Ô¹ÏÍø environmental studies and philosophy professor says the answer is complicated.
