- The third edition Principles of Sustainable Energy Systems textbook was published in September 2018, a collaboration between Emeritus Professor Frank Kreith, PhD alumnus Charles Kutscher and Professor Jana Milford.
- Faculty at CU Boulder are working toward widespread adoption and practical applications for the soft robotic HASEL actuators demonstrated here earlier this year, through a new $2 million award from the National Science Foundation.
- A new campus wide initiative - the Quantum Explorations in Science & Technology seed grant program - aims to put CU Boulder at the center of work being done on quantum.
- A major climate change report released Friday by over a dozen U.S. federal agencies outlines the potential for significant economic and environmental damages in the coming years. The report included a chapter on the potential for impacts on roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
- As you consider your strategies for finding the best Cyber Monday deals, remember that where there is connectivity, there is a need for security. That’s why CEAS, aka CU Engineering, is launching a new cybersecurity program.
- Co-founded by Robert Erickson of electrical, computer and energy engineering and Kala Majeti of CU Boulder’s Technology Transfer Office, BREK will use the grant funds to develop the world’s first compact 250 kilowatt (kW) solar string inverter.
- Researchers at CU Boulder have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.
- CU Boulder engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
- CU Boulder hosted the 2018 International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems this week at the University Memorial Center.
- Brad Hayes will drive innovation for Circadence’s cybersecurity solutions while continuing to teach in the Department of Computer Science and direct the Collaborative AI and Robotics (CAIRO) Lab.
