- While the CUbit Quantum Initiative is only five months old, Associate Director Juliet Gopinath said she has been energized by the potential of the cross-campus project.
- Researchers have designed a robot to navigate the unpredictable terrain of the intestine. The group hopes the robot will one day change how millions of people across the United States get colonoscopies, making these common procedures easier for patients and more efficient for doctors.
- Wil Srubar is an assistant professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering department at CU. Guided by the tenets of industrial ecology, his team's collective vision is to engineer next-generation infrastructure materials by blurring the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world. Materials of current interest include biodegradable polymers, phase-change materials, recycled aggregate concrete, and natural-fiber composites for green building applications.
- TeachEngineering is a resource for K-12 teachers.
- The Research Support Office will host an overview and Q&A session on the NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. May 24 in the Clark Conference Room (ECAD 109).
- Research being led by ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Assistant Professor Orit Peleg is studying social systems in sunflowers through an award from the Human Frontier Science Program.
- ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Assistant Professor Jerome Fox has been selected for the Army-ECASE award to study emergent behavior in biochemical networks.
- Research at ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï are trying to understanding how construction plans are read on job sites and then tailoring the information to the individual. Increasing efficiency, reducing costs and – potentially – reducing the risk of an accident.
- The Materials Characterization Facility in the Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) successfully hosted a focused ion beam (FIB) event in mid-April.
- ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï has a tradition of excellence in quantum science and technology. Work in the field continues on and off campus in the many companies that have been founded by CU engineering and physics faculty and former students.
