- The third edition Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems textbook was published in September 2018, a collaboration between Emeritus Professor Frank Kreith, PhD alumnus Charles Kutscher and Professor Jana Milford.
- Faculty at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä are working toward widespread adoption and practical applications for the soft robotic HASEL actuators demonstrated here earlier this year, through a new $2 million award from the National Science Foundation.
- A new campus wide initiative - the Quantum Explorations in Science & Technology seed grant program - aims to put ²ÊÃñ±¦µä at the center of work being done on quantum.
- A major climate change report released Friday by over a dozen U.S. federal agencies outlines the potential for significant economic and environmental damages in the coming years. The report included a chapter on the potential for impacts on roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
- As you consider your strategies for finding the best Cyber Monday deals, remember that where there is connectivity, there is a need for security. That’s why CEAS, aka CU Engineering, is launching a new cybersecurity program.
- Co-founded by Robert Erickson of electrical, computer and energy engineering and Kala Majeti of ²ÊÃñ±¦µä’s Technology Transfer Office, BREK will use the grant funds to develop the world’s first compact 250 kilowatt (kW) solar string inverter.
- Researchers at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.
- ²ÊÃñ±¦µä engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
- ²ÊÃñ±¦µä hosted the 2018 International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems this week at the University Memorial Center.
- Brad Hayes will drive innovation for Circadence’s cybersecurity solutions while continuing to teach in the Department of Computer Science and direct the Collaborative AI and Robotics (CAIRO) Lab.
