- Researchers at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä have developed virtual clinical trials for an artificial pancreas that could significantly improve treatments for those with Type 1 diabetes by tailoring medical devices and speeding up clinical trials.
- Julie Korak’s research interests are broadly focused on water treatment engineering, spanning municipal drinking water, water reuse and industrial water treatment.
- 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.
- How a new generation of grippers with improved 3D perception and tactile sensing is learning to manipulate a wide variety of objects
- 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.
- The ²ÊÃñ±¦µä College of Engineering and Applied Science is leading a new multi-university and multi-disciplinary project from the National Science Foundation aimed at fostering collaboration in quantum research.
- The natural world has had billions of years of evolution to perfect systems, creating elegant solutions to tricky problems. ²ÊÃñ±¦µä Assistant Professor Orit Peleg’s work hopes to illuminate and explore those solutions with the long-term goal of
- A new material developed in Chris Bowman's lab can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, allowing a literal square peg to morph and fit into a round hole before fully reverting to its original form.
- The research, which was funded by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) and presented at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä earlier this month, outlines a multitude of challenges posed by wildfires, including short- and long-term effects on the availability and quality of drinking water sources used by major metropolitan areas such as Denver, Colorado. The report also outlines potential remediation solutions to help utilities plan for worst-case scenarios.
