Professor Hendrik Heinz is the second CU �鶹ӰԺ faculty member chosen for the highly selective Amazon Scholar program.

New research from the Sprenger and Whitehead groups aims to identify and map common mutations in “Spike” proteins—the proteins that allow the virus to enter and infect cells. This would provide researchers with a roadmap to anticipate and counteract the development of future SARS-CoV-2 strains with effective vaccines and vaccine boosters.

While solar panels have traditionally used silicon-based cells, researchers are increasingly looking to perovskite-based solar cells to create panels that are more efficient, less expensive to produce and can be manufactured at the scale needed to power the world.

Where do bodily tissues get their strength? New CU �鶹ӰԺ research provides important new clues to this long-standing mystery, identifying how specialized proteins called cadherins join forces to make cells stick—and stay stuck—together.

New research adapting facial recognition technology may help identify and treat pathogens in minutes rather than days.
