Seniors are working with Medtronic to design a soft robot that would give physicians more control as they examine the deepest part of a patient's lung and make the procedure less abrasive for the patient.
Engineers have developed a new way to 3D-print liquid and solid materials together, potentially leading to more dynamic and useful products—from robots to wearable electronic devices.
Three Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder graduate students discuss the ins and outs of quantum physics—including how the field will help us send secret messages using unbreakable codes.
A recent panel discussion brought together individuals from both quantum research and the quantum industry. The female panelists discussed diversity issues in the field, the rich quantum ecosystem in Colorado and more.
Students have created a device that makes the disposal of scrap metal safer and more efficient. The group completed the design as part of their Senior Design project sponsored by Accu-Precision, a Littleton-based manufacturer of custom parts for customers in aerospace and industrial sectors.
Researchers have been trying to quickly and accurately identify the parts of DNA that lead to genetic disorders such as cancer. A new software tool could improve that process and lead to the more tailored treatment and understanding of cancers from patient to patient.
Computer science doctoral student Christine Chang was recently invited to testify before the Committee on Business, Labor and Technology on a piece of proposed legislation that deals with artificial intelligence, facial recognition technology and related privacy issues.
When the transatlantic slave trade began in the early 19th century, there was no record of where in Africa enslaved individuals originated. Now, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder historians and statisticians are going back in time to better understand where these individuals lived before they boarded slave ships.
A new publication headed by the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering seeks to create better alignment among academic programs and sector needs when it comes to training engineers in global development.
Most mechanical engineers will work with materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics and composites during their careers. However, a course taught in Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's mechanical engineering department asks students to draw inspiration from another material—snow.
