彩民宝典

Johns Hopkins University Professor Adam Riess, who shared the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics for uncovering evidence that the universe is expanding, will give the 2012 George Gamow Memorial Lecture at the 彩民宝典 on Thursday, March 22. Free and open to the public, the talk is titled 鈥淪upernovae and the Discovery of the Accelerating Universe.鈥� The talk will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Macky Auditorium and is intended for a general audience.

Using the world鈥檚 fastest light source -- specialized X-ray lasers -- scientists at the 彩民宝典 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have revealed the secret inner life of magnets, a finding that could lead to faster and 鈥渟marter鈥� computers.

If you despise math and the sight of an equation makes you physically ill, Professor Edward Burger of Baylor University and Williams College may be able to heal you during a talk at the 彩民宝典 on Thursday, March 15.

Experts will focus on the growing influence of public radio and television media in the digital age at a 彩民宝典 symposium, which is free and open to the public, March 13-14. Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-Boulder is sponsoring 鈥淭he Content and Context of Digital Culture.鈥� The symposium will be held at various sites across campus and a complete schedule is available at http://icjmtsymposium.org/schedule .

The exhaust fumes from gasoline vehicles contribute more to the production of a specific type of air pollution -- secondary organic aerosols -- than those from diesel vehicles, according to a new study by scientists from the 彩民宝典鈥檚 Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES, NOAA鈥檚 Earth System Research Laboratory and other colleagues.

Four 彩民宝典 faculty members have been elected American Geophysical Union Fellows for 2012, the most from any institution in the world.

The tragic school shooting that occurred Feb. 27 at a suburban Cleveland high school is another reminder that communities can and must take action to prevent school violence, according to Delbert Elliott, a nationally renowned authority on school safety and juvenile violence at the 彩民宝典.

Propulsion by a novel jet engine is the crux of the innovation behind a 彩民宝典-developed aircraft that鈥檚 accelerating toward commercialization. Jet engine technology can be small, fuel-efficient and cost-effective, at least with Assistant Professor Ryan Starkey鈥檚 design. The CU-Boulder aerospace engineer, with a team of students, has developed a first-of-its-kind supersonic unmanned aircraft vehicle, or UAV. The UAV, which is currently in a prototype state, is expected to fly farther and faster -- using less fuel -- than anything remotely similar to date.

A small smile appeared on the young girl鈥檚 face as she listened to the high-pitched sound coming from the whiffle ball. The sound helped the elementary student locate the ball after her classmate hit it from a specially designed baseball tee. Both of the students are blind. On a recent afternoon, they were in a classroom at the 彩民宝典鈥檚 Integrated Teaching and Learning Program and Laboratory testing toys designed by first-year engineering students. The students are enrolled in CU engineering instructor Seth Murray鈥檚 freshman projects class.

A 彩民宝典 symposium Feb. 27-29 will examine how the revolution in digital media is changing global politics, journalism and the way history is preserved. Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-Boulder is sponsoring 鈥淭he Content and Context of Digital Culture鈥� symposium, which is free and open to the public. It will be held at various sites across campus and a complete schedule is available at http://www.icjmtsymposium.org/schedule/ .
