Science & Technology
- A new field instrument can quantify methane leaks as tiny as one-quarter of a human exhalation from nearly a mile away.
- A malleable, self-healing and fully recyclable "electronic skin" has applications ranging from robotics and prosthetic development to better biomedical devices.
- Engineers are developing a scalable, cost-effective greenhouse material that splits sunlight into photosynthetically efficient light and repurposes inefficient infrared light to aid in water purification.
- Engineers have developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles, a major advance in the field of robotics.
- A new robotic small intestine under development at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder has broad-reaching implications for the treatment of gastrointestinal ailments and improved medical training.
- Daniela Vergara studies the genetic diversity of multiple cannabis varieties in an attempt to shed light on largely unexplored biological questions.
- Physicists have created an atomic clock that reaches the same level of precision as its predecessors but is more than 20 times faster, promising dramatically improved measurements and more.
- A surprising Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder study shows giant, plant-eating dinosaurs roaming present-day Utah snacked on crustaceans, a behavior that may have been tied to reproductive activities.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers have developed an advanced drone "swarming" technology that allows a single pilot to operate multiple unmanned aircraft for a variety of missions.
- For humans, our sense of touch is relayed to the brain via small electrical pulses. But new research shows individual bacteria can feel their external environment in a similar way.
