Science & Technology
- Engineers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have designed a new, shape-shifting display that can fit on a card table and allows users to draw 3D designs and more.
- Using innovative fluorescent sensors and computational modeling, CU Â鶹ӰԺ biochemistry researcher Amy Palmer tracked naturally cycling cells to better understand an essential micronutrient.
- Researchers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have developed a new membrane water filtration system, based around air bubbles, that can help address water scarcity issues around the world.
- Recently published research led by Karan Dikshit during his doctoral studies at CU Â鶹ӰԺ explores an adhesive material that not only allows for easy sticking and unsticking but could eventually contribute to sustainability efforts around the globe.
- Researchers are taking steps to strengthen safety by expanding FieldSafe, an online training program designed to help scientists navigate harassment, risk management and communication challenges they may encounter during field work.
- At least 25 U.S. airports now use facial recognition software to determine you are who you say you are, but some fear the artificial intelligence systems will exacerbate discrimination. Morgan Klaus Scheuerman, an AI ethicist, explains why people are concerned.
- How does artificial intelligence shape the news we see online? Researchers in the College of Media, Communication and Information are ready to examine the ethics and fairness of recommender systems in journalism, thanks to a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
- Physicists at CU Â鶹ӰԺ and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made record-breaking measures of electrons, finding that these tiny particles may be more round- than egg-shaped. Their results could bring scientists closer to answering a profound mystery of existence.
- Could technology like smart watches and mobile apps change how patients manage Type 1 diabetes? A $1.2 million grant is helping faculty explore ways to give patients a better quality of life.
- CU Â鶹ӰԺ engineers have designed a new class of "microrobots" several times smaller than the width of a human hair that may be able to treat human illnesses like interstitial cystitis—a painful bladder disease that affects millions of Americans.
