Â鶹ӰԺ

A new material developed by CU Â鶹ӰԺ engineers 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.

Previous Packard Fellows and Keck Grant recipients will share about their successful experiences and will be available to answer questions. CU Â鶹ӰԺ's Office of Advancement will also provide information about what types of projects each foundation is looking to fund, and how to put together a successful application.

This workshop will specifically focus on resources available to help faculty and investigators identify funding opportunities, and how to work effectively with OCG to prepare and submit competitive proposals.

Attend this workshop to learn about funding sources available from CU to support your research, scholarship and creative work.

The scientific question at hand: Does a double-amputee running on prosthetic blades have a disadvantage over sprinters with legs? The answer could ultimately determine whether he will be allowed to compete at the 2020 Olympics.

CO-LABS announced this week that Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn of JILA were one of three winners of its prestigious Governor’s Awards for High-Impact Research. Brian McDonald of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) also led a team that earned an honorable mention in this year’s awards.

New experiments based on Nobel Prize-winning science pioneered at CU Â鶹ӰԺ and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) made their space station debut this week.

Mark Sirangelo, who just concluded his career as the head of aerospace giant Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Space Systems, is joining the Â鶹ӰԺ as an entrepreneur-in-residence beginning this month.

CU Â鶹ӰԺ physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun—much like a greenhouse stays warm during the winter.

As we’ve come to expect from this event, the caliber of startups coming out of CU is only growing stronger annually, with everything from smart fencing solutions to early child education being showcased by seven energized, passionate founders.
