A new campus wide initiative - the Quantum Explorations in Science & Technology seed grant program - aims to put CU Â鶹ӰԺ at the center of work being done on quantum.

How a new generation of grippers with improved 3D perception and tactile sensing is learning to manipulate a wide variety of objects

Researchers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.

CU Â鶹ӰԺ engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.

The CU Â鶹ӰԺ College of Engineering and Applied Science is leading a new multi-university and multi-disciplinary project from the National Science Foundation aimed at fostering collaboration in quantum research.

The natural world has had billions of years of evolution to perfect systems, creating elegant solutions to tricky problems. CU Â鶹ӰԺ Assistant Professor Orit Peleg ’s work hopes to illuminate and explore those solutions with the long-term goal of applying the answers she finds to the materials we interact with...

A new material developed in Chris Bowman's lab 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 research, which was funded by The Water Research Foundation (WRF) and presented at CU Â鶹ӰԺ earlier this month, outlines a multitude of challenges posed by wildfires, including short- and long-term effects on the availability and quality of drinking water sources used by major metropolitan areas such as Denver, Colorado. The report also outlines potential remediation solutions to help utilities plan for worst-case scenarios.

Developed by the CyberSafety Research Center, the new method combines several different computing tools to scan massive amounts of social media data, sending alerts to parents or network administrators that abuse has occurred.

There are nearly 100 nuclear power plants across the United States, all of which rely on concrete containment vessels (NCVS) to provide the last layer of safety in case of accident. Some of these vessels exhibit serious signs of aging associated with a slow, but irreversible, degradation of concrete known...
