Jun Ye has won the Wolf Prize in Physics. Ye, selected for "transformative, widely applicable advances in the control of ultracold atomic systems," is a fellow of NIST and JILA. He is also the Monroe Endowed Professor of Physics at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder.
Erica Nelson and Wren Suess, assistant professors of astrophysical and planetary sciences at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder, are part of an international team using the power of the James Webb Space Telescope to unlock mysteries of the earliest parts of our universe.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers created an AI system to reveal the hidden physics deep inside a heat-resistant coating. The findings could someday help humans build more durable and complicated machines.
Fears about AI going rogue and turning against humanity have reached a chilling new high following an AI researcher's warning.
New CIRES research has found that specific microbes in Antarctica's soils are endemic—located on the continent and nowhere else on Earth.
Funding from the National Science Foundation will expand the quantum workforce and advance research projects including more accurate atomic clocks and sensors for early detection of disease.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers are exploring how microscopic vibrations engineered beneath an aircraft's surface could delay turbulence and improve fuel efficiency in passenger jets.
Doctoral student Jas Shahanand is developing ways to study the hidden chemical reactions inside wildfires, laying the groundwork for more accurate emissions models, improved climate predictions and cleaner fuels.
Professor Chris Myers is developing data standards that could make synthetic biology more predictable and help AI become a more effective research tool.
Researchers in Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are taking a closer look at the drought-recovery efforts of these beloved blooms.
