A specific wavelength of ultraviolet light is not only extremely effective at killing the virus that causes COVID-19, but is also safer for use in public spaces, finds new CU Boulder research.
Social robots tend to be associated with futuristic science fiction movies, like Vision, the android from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or C-3PO from Star Wars. In reality, they have rewarding applications in the present day.
The U.S. National Science Foundation renewed STROBE for an additional five years for $22 million.
When you shrink down to very small scales, heat doesn't always behave the way you think it should. New findings from the nano realm could help researchers gain a better handle on the flow of heat in electronic devices.
New research shows it’s possible to calculate the viscosity of a substance with very strongly bonded particles. The calculation—previously thought impossible—is an important step toward understanding substances with promising potential for everything from quantum computing to clean energy.
The new effort, called SpectrumX, will address congestion in a "precious resource" that's key to technologies like mobile broadband, broadcasting and GPS.
Philip Makotyn, executive director the CUbit Quantum Initiative, spoke on Sept. 9 before the Colorado General Assembly's Joint Technology Committee about the quantum ecosystem along Colorado's Front Range.
Ye was cited for his work in developing atomic clocks that are so precise that they would neither gain nor lose one second in roughly 15 billion years.
When SpaceX CRS-23 launched to the International Space Station on Aug. 29, it carried with it a milestone for CU Boulder: the 80th mission to carry a payload from BioServe Space Technologies.
While playing musical instruments can emit potentially COVID-19-laden airborne particles, researchers have found that simple safety measures, such as masking instruments, social distancing and implementing time limits, significantly reduce this risk.
