Science & Technology
- In a new study, a team of engineers from CU Boulder created 3D scans of honeybee swarms using a CT machine. Their images reveal a surprisingly complex system of organization.
- As part of $15 million Department of Energy project, applied mathematicians aim to employ new, novel methods to improve the physics models needed to better understand and sustain fusion.
- CU Boulder is leading an interdisciplinary military-oriented research project to enable secure use of 5G networks controlled by an adversary.
- Mathematicians at CU Boulder are exploring the statistics behind how cells move, and their results could one day help scientists develop new drugs to help people heal faster from wounds.
- Thanks to a CU Next grant, the Data Advocacy for All project will soon provide students with the opportunity to learn how to ethically and effectively use data to raise public awareness and drive social change, according to Laurie Gries, associate professor of writing, rhetoric and communication.
- A newly discovered material structured like a honeycomb can transform from an electrical insulator, like rubber, into an electrical conductor, like metal, in a matter of seconds. Now, researchers at CU Boulder think they can explain why.
- With National Science Foundation support, a CU Boulder-led initiative aims to attract underrepresented people to geosciences and foster grassroots ideas at the frontier of “inclusive and collaborative science.”
- Researchers from CU Anschutz and CU Boulder are developing an artificial intelligence tool to diagnose dementia at earlier stages in an effort to curb its progress and plan more effective treatment options.
- A new CU Boulder-led study documents how a durable plastic can be perpetually broken down and remade, without sacrificing its desired physical properties.
- Millions of people died of the coronavirus because institutions and people took too long to recognize it was primarily airborne, and a new study traces back that deadly resistance.
