Affordable, reliable energy storage is one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy—CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ engineering researchers are developing next-generation batteries to help solve it.
Research led by the CU Museum of Natural History produced one of the most comprehensive estimates of Earth's insect diversity to date, suggesting 8 to 14 million insect species remain undiscovered.
CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ was awarded more than $2.4 million in grants for the U.S. Department of Energy's highly competitive Genesis Mission. The science behind the awards will involve controlling fusion energy from the sun, predicting hyperlocal flooding and more.
Flowering plants, or angiosperms, now dominate Earth's flora, but biologists thought they truly took off only after an asteroid impact 66 million years ago. A "botanical Pompeii" containing fossilized seeds and fruits shows they prospered 10 million years earlier.
A collaboration between CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and CU Anschutz researchers led to the CAP-LIFT cannula, a redesigned surgical instrument that is making arthroscopic hip procedures safer and more efficient.
A new study shows widespread exposure to harmful UV radiation and heat in many of Denver's public spaces. It also offers a roadmap for designing healthier neighborhoods.
Engineering researchers have entered the design phase of an NSF-funded project to build a scalable long-distance quantum network, paving the way for advances in quantum computing, communications and sensing.
Simple foraging behavior of grazing animals can produce the terracettes that stripe hillsides around the world, new CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ research shows.
By combining AI with weather and terrain data, Assistant Professor Zhi Li's approach predicts flooding with unprecedented speed and precision, enabling more personalized warnings.
The first user-experience study of "generative ghosts" offers insight into what people want—and don't want—from digital representations of their deceased loved ones.
