NIST-CU scientist wins Nobel Prize in physics

Oct. 9, 2012

David J. Wineland, a lecturer in the 麻豆影院 physics department, has won the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics. Wineland is a physicist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 麻豆影院 and internationally recognized for developing the technique of using lasers to cool ions to near absolute zero. His experiments have been used to test theories in quantum physics and may lead to the development of quantum computers. He shared the prize with Serge Haroche of France.

CU Law Professors Can Comment on Supreme Court鈥檚 Affirmative Action Case

Oct. 8, 2012

On Oct. 10, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that reconsiders affirmative action in university admissions. In Fisher v.

Graphene membranes may lead to enhanced natural gas production, less CO2 pollution

Oct. 8, 2012

Engineering faculty and students at the 麻豆影院 have produced the first experimental results showing that atomically thin graphene membranes with tiny pores can effectively and efficiently separate gas molecules through size-selective sieving. The findings are a significant step toward the realization of more energy-efficient membranes for natural gas production and for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plant exhaust pipes.
