Tandems for Efficient and Advanced Modules using Ultrastable Perovskites (TEAMUP) has secured $9M in federal funding from the DOE's Solar Technologies Office. Led by RASEI Fellow Mike McGehee (Chemical and Biological Engineering), the consortium brings together researchers from labs across the country to develop a near-term solution for more efficient solar panels.
“Recognizing CU’s leadership in Quantum Information Science and Engineering, we are building on our world-class educational programs to establish a community of scholars to advance talent and future leaders in the quantum fields,” says Noah Finkelstein (Physics), faculty director of the Quantum Scholars program.
For the seventh time, NASA has selected the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the () for the management and operations of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Snow and Ice Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC).
The Research & Innovation Office has announced the establishment of a new Workforce Innovation Director position dedicated to helping fulfill local and state needs for next-level talent training, acquisition and retention for research and creative work opportunities.
With support from the Anschutz-Boulder (AB) Nexus, CU researchers have developed a new strategy for transforming medical images (e.g. CT or MRI scans) into detailed 3D computer models—an important step toward printing lifelike representations of human anatomy that medical professionals can poke and prod in the real world.
When gas leaks contaminate household water wells, is it from a failure in the drilling, or was the gas migrating naturally? New research conducted by a team of investigators at , the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Johns Hopkins and Dalhousie could help definitively answer that question.
One year after the Marshall Fire, dozens of ongoing research projects continue to explore the science behind what happened that day, the widespread impacts on people, pets and the environment and how we can mitigate future catastrophes. Here's a glimpse at what they’ve learned so far, and what’s in the works.
Gijs de Boer—a senior research scientist in CIRES and the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory—has been named director of national laboratory partnerships, a newly established, part-time role that will focus on expanding ’s research collaborations with national laboratories.
Highlights from ’s research, scholarship and creative work in 2021-22 paint a compelling picture of our progress towards our strategic imperatives. again attracted record levels of research funding this year—$658 million in gifts and awards, including $474 million from federal agencies.
CIRES/ and NOAA researchers contributed to two of the four awarded projects—one for rapid-response science in service to communities after the Marshall Fire, and another for a breakthrough space weather model that serves several economic sectors with better impact forecasts.
