Science & Technology
- Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earth’s gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorado’s iconic peaks. That could soon be a reality thanks to an NSF grant that will advance geodesy through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers attracted a record $684.2 million in fiscal year 2022–23 for studies that, among other things, elevate quantum science in Colorado, solve mysteries about the sun and provide even better data on sea ice, ice sheets, glaciers and more.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s Bortz group, in applied math, has won a $1.88 million National Institutes of Health grant to study methods for learning models directly from data.
- At the kickoff event for Research & Innovation Week, the vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes outlined key activities, insights and aspirations from the university’s research and innovation enterprise.
- Newly published Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function.
- U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet visited campus Oct. 20, and the trip to campus became an unexpected cause for celebration about Colorado’s place in the nation’s burgeoning quantum ecosystem.
- The National Academy of Inventors has ranked the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØsystem 14th among the its top 100 institutions nationwide for recent patent activity. This prominent position reflects the strength of CU-led discoveries and their potential for translation into society-benefiting technologies.
- AB Nexus is spurring more collaborations across the Boulder and Anschutz campuses, and the outcomes of those projects will eventually translate into life-changing solutions to improve human health and well-being.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder has earned a major award to ensure American soldiers, businesses and non-governmental organizations can use 5G cellular networks in foreign countries without hostile network operators being able to extract user information.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s Sandia Day drew over 160 attendees for an agenda highlighting the partnership between the university and Sandia National Laboratories; potential future avenues for collaborative, globally impactful research; and job and internship opportunities.
