Kristine M. Larson of the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences and William M. Lewis Jr. of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department have been selected to receive the 2018 Distinguished Research Lectureship. The
A new material developed by ²ÊÃñ±¦µä engineers 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 scientific question at hand: Does a double-amputee running on prosthetic blades have a disadvantage over sprinters with legs? The answer could ultimately determine whether he will be allowed to compete at the 2020 Olympics.
CO-LABS announced this week that Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn of JILA were one of three winners of its prestigious Governor’s Awards for High-Impact Research. Brian McDonald of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) also led a team that earned an honorable mention in this year’s awards.
²ÊÃñ±¦µä physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun—much like a greenhouse stays warm during the winter.
²ÊÃñ±¦µä donors supported students, high-impact research and top-notch facilities in a big way, making gifts totaling more than $147.8 million in the 2017–18 fiscal year, according to the latest advancement figures.
Now entering its fifth year, the Research Experience for Community College Students (RECCS) program, hosted by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), gives Colorado community college students hands-on research opportunities as they look ahead in their careers.
A 3D nano-imaging company built around ²ÊÃñ±¦µä technology and faculty just secured $1 million in investment funding from Luminate, an international startup accelerator focused on next-generation optics, photonics and imaging.
²ÊÃñ±¦µä's earth science and atmospheric science departments both ranked No. 1 overall among world universities in the ShanghaiRanking Consultancy's 2018 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS), which was published today. The university also scored highly in a dozen other academic categories, highlighting the breadth of impactful ²ÊÃñ±¦µä research.
Drones and other unmanned technologies can cost-effectively collect weather data in harsh or remote environments and contribute to better weather and climate models, according to a new study from CIRES and NOAA researchers. Unmanned aircraft and instrument-bearing tethered balloons are helping fill in critical data gaps over difficult-to-sample surfaces in the Arctic.
