CU Boulder’s East Campus is now home to the High-Sensitivity Low-Energy Ion Scattering (HS-LEIS) Spectrometer, a tool researchers from across the Rocky Mountain region will use for advanced materials characterization and analysis. The HS-LEIS is currently only the second device of its kind in the United States.
To confront the existential threat that is climate change, governments, industry and institutions of higher education must give voice to those most affected by it, transcend political divisiveness, and deploy empathy and compassion alongside research and innovation.
CU Boulder's CUbit Quantum Initiative today welcomed the first four strategic industry allies to formally join as CUbit Innovation Partners: Atom Computing, ColdQuanta, Meadowlark Optics and SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics.
New experiments at JILA, recently published in Nature, suggest how to make atomic clocks 50 times more precise than today’s best designs—and offer a crucial route to revealing how relativity and gravity interact with quantum mechanics.
From launching the Emirates Mars Mission and establishing a new AI institute to addressing COVID-19 and tackling the ever-expanding effects of our changing climate, CU Boulder faculty, staff and students will always be found at the leading edge of the issues that matter most.
Renewable energy is expanding at a record pace, but still not fast enough. CU Boulder experts Charles Kutscher and Jeffrey Logan of the Renewable & Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) share the key areas to watch for progress in bringing more wind and solar into the power grid in 2022.
Last month, U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse got a first-hand look at the future of ultrafast lasers, record-setting clocks and quantum computers when he toured facilities at JILA, a research partnership between CU Boulder and NIST. The visit comes as investments in quantum research are expanding across the country.
The AB Nexus program announced its third round of grant awards to faculty at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus and CU Boulder, collaborating on innovative research projects that aim to improve human wellbeing through basic science and translational research approaches.Â
CU Boulder researchers Richard D. Noble (Chemistry) and Theodore Randolph (Engineering) have been named 2021 Fellows of the National Academy of Inventors, a recognition that honors academic inventors who have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society.
NSF has awarded a highly competitive grant to a team of scientists building OpenEarthScape, a set of models and simulations to help anticipate changes in river flow, beach erosion, landslides and more. All software will be shared as open-source with the scientific community and the public.
