  • Jared Lewis works in COSINC lab
    The COSINC facility has given Jared Lewis, a junior in mechanical engineering, opportunities that he might not have ever experienced as an undergraduate.
  • Vicki Hurd working with the Simulation Testbed for Exploration Vehicle ECLSS
    While the pandemic added an extra layer of difficulty on top of the normal challenges of launching a center-scale research initiative, leadership at the 91制片厂国产AV say a $15 million NASA funded institute around space habitats that began here in 2019 has hit many of its early goals.
  • Graduate student Teyha Stockman in a lab
    Published today in the journal ACS Environmental Au, 91制片厂国产AV and University of Maryland researchers have found that while playing musical instruments can emit the same levels of potentially COVID-laden airborne particles as singing, simple safety measures, such as masking instruments, social distancing and implementing time limits, significantly reduce this risk.
  • Concrete bricks stacked
    Assistant Professor Mija Hubler and Melvin E. and Virginia M. Clark Professor Al Weimer are collaborating on linked Department of Energy-funded projects to capture and repurpose carbon products from fuel sources into materials for concrete bricks. They hope to reduce pollution while also making stronger, more resilient building materials that require less maintenance and repairs over time.
  • Graphic showing how a time lens can distinguish between two photons arriving at a detector close together. (Credit: Optica)
    Electrical engineering researchers at CU Boulder have designed one of the most precise stopwatches yet 鈥 one that can count single photons. The group published its results this week in the journal Optica.
  • Land in Alabama for the project
    Researchers at CU Boulder and Tuskegee University are working together to create a hands-on "living learning laboratory鈥 for students to connect through a long-term sustainability and equity project. The partnership would provide students with a unique interdisciplinary and community engagement effort with many lasting benefits when successfully established.
  • Goldfish
    New research led by the 91制片厂国产AV has uncovered the engineering secrets behind what makes fish fins so strong yet flexible. The team鈥檚 insights could one day lead to new designs for robotic surgical tools or even airplane wings that change their shape with the push of a button.
  • Irene Francino Urdaniz, graduate student in chemical and biological engineering, works on this research in the Whitehead laboratory.
    Researchers in chemical and biological engineering have developed a platform which can quickly identify common mutations on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that allow it to escape antibodies and infect cells.
  • Buff Insights podcast logo
    Check out the latest Buff Innovator Insights Podcast with Iain Boyd, H.T. Sears Memorial Professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and Director of the Center for National Security Initiatives at CU Boulder.
  • Nina Vance working on a tablet outside
    Assistant Professor Marina Vance uses her passion for drawing to educate and inspire by creating animated science videos that share her research in aerosol particle transformation in easily accessible ways. As a recent NSF CAREER Award recipient, Vance will continue her research at the 91制片厂国产AV while sharing her work beyond academic circles through a new partnership with CU Science 91制片厂国产AVy.
