Across the country this summer, flooding has damaged national parks, cities and communities—and left hundreds of thousands of people without clean water in Jackson, Mississippi. Two CU Â鶹ӰԺ engineering experts discuss the state of our infrastructure and the impacts of climate change.
A former CU Â鶹ӰԺ undergraduate's honors thesis has led to the official recognition of the Chihuahuan meadowlark as a distinct species.
This month, President Joe Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law. The bill is putting new focus on semiconductors—the tiny devices that are in everything from smartphones to laptops and even thermostats.
Researchers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have developed and validated a new sensor for E. coli risk detection that features an impressive 83% accuracy rate when detecting contamination in surface waters.
Doctoral students Aaquib Tabrez and Matthew Luebbers, along with their advisor Bradley Hayes, used augmented reality Minesweeper to gain insight into a robot’s decision-making process. They were awarded runner-up for best student paper at an international conference.
With a project called Tinycade, graduate student Peter Gyory has set out to recreate that arcade parlor experience from childhood—entirely out of junk.
A new study of rattlesnakes in the western U.S. sheds light on how the reptiles evolve over time to keep up with prey resistance to their venom.
The Living Materials Laboratory is scaling up the manufacture of carbon-neutral cement as well as cement products, which can slowly pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it.
Qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers, are as fragile as snowflakes. Now, researchers have come up with a new way of reading out the information from certain kinds of qubits with a light touch, potentially paving the way for a quantum internet.
New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy.
