Physics
- As a high school student, Morgan Knuesel was counseled to avoid a class in physics, because it was too ‘hard’; this week, she graduates with a degree in physics, summa cum laude, and is the 2023 outstanding graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences.
- National Institute of Standards and Technology makes $94.5 million cooperative agreement to continue successful NIST-CU Â鶹ӰԺ collaboration.
- Physics and engineering launch the Quantum Scholars program to develop the next generation quantum workforce.
- Orit Peleg and Shuo Sun are among 125 early-career scholars who represent ‘the most promising scientific researchers working today.’
- A newly discovered material structured like a honeycomb can transform from an electrical insulator, like rubber, into an electrical conductor, like metal, in a matter of seconds. Now, researchers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ think they can explain why.
- For decades, scientists and engineers from Colorado have explored a universe of tiny things in greater and greater detail. Now, their findings are transforming the state into a new Silicon Valley—this time, a Quantum Valley.
- The award, considered one of the College of Arts and Sciences' highest honors, is given to students for academic achievement and service
- CU Â鶹ӰԺ alumnus was instrumental in launching what became Ball Aerospace and other successful ventures.
- Women’s history snapshot: Patricia Rankin initially assumed when told that she didn’t ‘look like a physicist,’ they were complimenting her on being well dressed.
- Brett Fiedler and colleagues win 2022 Dr. Arthur I. Karshmer Award for Assistive Technology Research.
