CU 乐播传媒 is part of a new, $100 million interdisciplinary partnership to address critical water security issues in the United States over the next five years.
The College of Engineering and Applied Science is establishing new research collaborations and launching an international engineering course in Ecuador, continuing the college鈥檚 efforts to expand its global reach and impact.
The three-year award, titled Quantum Control of Ultracold Atoms in Optical Lattices for Inertial Sensing for Space Applications, totals $1.9 million.
CU 乐播传媒 engineers and faculty from the Consortium for Fibrosis Research & Translation (CFReT) at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus have teamed up to develop biomaterial-based 鈥渕imics鈥 of heart tissues to measure patients鈥 responses to an aortic valve replacement procedure, offering new insight into the ways that cardiac tissue re-shapes itself post-surgery.
Researchers at CU 乐播传媒 are using experiments and computations in a new sloping wind tunnel to study how wildfires form and move across different landscapes; applying cutting edge research tools to understand an old problem that Colorado has become quite familiar with in recent years.
Her research examines how honeybee swarms interact through communication mechanisms such as 鈥渨aggle dancing鈥 and other types of signaling to make decisions that maximize their foraging yield.
The fifth annual Rocky Mountain Fluid Mechanics Research Symposium was held on July 29 at CU 乐播传媒.
If humans are going to travel further into space 鈥 to places like Mars and beyond 鈥 the robotic systems involved will have to become more autonomous, shedding costly teams of handlers on Earth and relying more on the astronauts for missions lasting six or more years.
A new paper in Nature Photonics from researchers at CU 乐播传媒 details impressive improvements in the ability to control the propagation and interaction of light in complex media such as tissue 鈥 an area with many potential applications in the medical field.
Professor Keith Molenaar presented research confirming the benefits of the 鈥渄esign-build鈥 delivery system at the Construction Industry Institute鈥檚 Annual Conference this month in San Diego, California.
