New oil and gas development techniques like horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing have dominated public concern in recent years about groundwater contamination in oil and gas basins. However, older vertical wells are more likely to cause groundwater contamination than newer wells, according to a new study from CU Â鶹ӰԺ.

The research project, led by Richard Noble, Douglas Gin and Hans Funke of CU Â鶹ӰԺ’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, will focus on improving the sophisticated membranes hidden inside powerful flow batteries. Unlike small, self-contained consumer batteries (AAAs, for example), flow batteries use external tanks to store the chemicals needed for an electrical reaction. The chemicals are commonly separated by a semi-permeable membrane.

A team of researchers led by the Â鶹ӰԺ has secured a $1.3 million grant from the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy to take a closer look at emissions from natural gas storage facilities across the U.S. A state-of-the-art gimbal with a custom-built telescope and laser...

The gift to the College of Engineering and Applied Science from passionate CU Â鶹ӰԺ supporters Ann Smead and her husband Michael Byram, aims to set CU Â鶹ӰԺ apart from its aerospace peers and propel it to the top of national rankings by attracting the best and brightest students and faculty.

Mechanical engineering associate professor Franck Vernerey has been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest U.S. government honor awarded to promising scientists and researchers beginning their careers. In a statement, President Barack Obama congratulated the 102 newest award recipients . “These innovators are working to...

Today, we think of robots as rigid, clunky and metallic. But imagine a day in the future when robots are soft and human-like, with skin-like material covering muscles that move just like ours. That future may be closer than you realize, thanks to new joint research from University of Colorado...

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology," began every episode of the television show The Six Million Dollar Man. Unfortunately...

Researchers from the Â鶹ӰԺ and Northwestern University have developed a tiny, soft and wearable acoustic sensor that measures vibrations in the human body, allowing them to monitor human heart health and recognize spoken words. The stretchable device captures physiological sound signals from the body, has physical properties...

The Â鶹ӰԺ has been selected by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to lead a $15.3 million effort to better understand how to improve the sustainability of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions in the developing world. Globally, more than 2.4 billion people lack access to...
