A proposal by Dr. Chuck Kutscher, a fellow of CU Boulder's Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), was recently voted as one of the Clean Economy Employment Now Project’s top three ideas for Congressional budget reconciliation.
NSF's Navigating the New Arctic initiative works to improve understanding of Arctic change and its impacts through convergence research, a unique approach that merges ideas from different areas of expertise, including Indigenous knowledge.
The report provides a window into the impactful work that our faculty, researchers and students are pursuing, such as: developing affordable, rapid-result COVID-19 tests; transforming how we explore our universe; and more.Â
COSINC offers a platform for the convergence of multiple scientific and engineering disciplines. This Zoom-based Open House will include discussion on specific capabilities, the facility's new location on East Campus and future plans for expansion.
CU Boulder's Office of Information Technology (OIT) is launching a national search for a research computing director to build on the work of noted supercomputer strategist Thomas Hauser, who is departing the university on Feb. 28.
Despite the unprecedented challenges everyone faced in 2020, CU Boulder researchers continued to deliver findings that will improve the lives of people across the globe—or simply dazzle us with new insights into the natural world.
"Albert"—ColdQuanta’s quantum-matter system on the cloud—allows users to remotely cool atoms to near absolute zero to create a state of matter in which “quantum-mechanical behavior comes into play on a large scale.” Users can control, study and even photograph “the wavefunction of a quantum cloud of atoms."
Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn, physics professors and JILA Fellows at CU Boulder, have been named fellows of the National Academy of Inventors. Murnane and Kapteyn pioneered technologies for generating coherent X-rays, which helped propel research in dynamic processes in atoms, molecules and materials.
The AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant program announced its inaugural round of grants totaling $625K for novel research projects integrating expertise from the CU Anschutz and Boulder campuses. The projects involve a broad range of research themes related to basic science and translational approaches.
