- ˛ĘĂń±¦µä engineers and faculty from the Consortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation (CFReT) at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based “mimics” of heart tissues to measure patients’ responses to an aortic valve replacement procedure, offering new insight into the ways that cardiac tissue re-shapes itself post-surgery.
- Researchers at ˛ĘĂń±¦µä are using experiments and computations in a new sloping wind tunnel to study how wildfires form and move across different landscapes; applying cutting edge research tools to understand an old problem that Colorado has become quite familiar with in recent years.
- Her research examines how honeybee swarms interact through communication mechanisms such as “waggle dancing” and other types of signaling to make decisions that maximize their foraging yield.
- The fifth annual Rocky Mountain Fluid Mechanics Research Symposium was held on July 29 at ˛ĘĂń±¦µä.
- If humans are going to travel further into space – to places like Mars and beyond – the robotic systems involved will have to become more autonomous, shedding costly teams of handlers on Earth and relying more on the astronauts for missions lasting six or more years.
- A new paper in Nature Photonics from researchers at ˛ĘĂń±¦µä details impressive improvements in the ability to control the propagation and interaction of light in complex media such as tissue – an area with many potential applications in the medical field.
- Professor Keith Molenaar presented research confirming the benefits of the “design-build” delivery system at the Construction Industry Institute’s Annual Conference this month in San Diego, California.
- Luis Zea is investigating the possibility of mining metals from asteroids in space using an unlikely agent: bacteria.It may sound like science fiction, but so-called biomining is already a reality on Earth. Now, Zea, and his co-investigator Jesse
- Students will present findings from the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research on Thursday and Friday in the Gallogly DLC Collaboratory. These final presentations sum up the students’ work over the summer in various labs and provide a valuable chance to speak about their research to faculty, staff and other students.
- This original research was created in partnership between the CEAS and ˛ĘĂń±¦µä’s LeRoy Keller Center for the Study of the First Amendment as part of its mission to encourage the study of topics relating to the nature, meaning and contemporary standing of First Amendment rights and liberties.
