  • A woman doctor meets with a masculine-presenting person in a plaid shirt.
    News-Medical鈥擯atients who go to the doctor to provide a blood sample are typically faced with a needle and syringe and hours or days of waiting to get results back from a lab. 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 researchers hope to change that with a new handheld, sound-based diagnostic system to deliver precise results in an hour with a mere finger prick of blood.
  • Lab Venture Challenge
    Fourteen teams of University of Colorado entrepreneurs, faculty researchers and graduate student innovators will compete for a combined $1.25 million in startup funding grants in this year鈥檚聽Lab Venture Challenge (LVC) Showcases. Judges from Venture Partners at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 entrepreneurial network will hear Shark Tank-style pitches across two nights, one for innovations in biosciences and another for physical sciences and engineering.
  • An illustration of computer circuits.
    Photonics Online鈥擜 new variant of liquid crystal is at the core of 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 startup Polaris Electro-Opstics' technology. Designed as a seamless drop-in enhancer of silicon photonic chips, Polaris's modulator technology paves the way for the next generation of optical interconnects critical to the future of data center disaggregation.
  • Close up of fingers wearing purple latex gloves handling a machine with tiny round batteries in it.
    蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Today鈥擜n international team of researchers led by an engineer at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 has revealed the underlying mechanism behind battery degradation. Their discovery could help scientists to develop better batteries.
  • CU Physics Professor Ivan Smalyukh standing with his research team in a laboratory setting, surrounded by scientific equipment and materials. The group is smiling and posed together, highlighting their collaboration and achievement in material science.
    College of Arts & Sciences鈥斆厶掖狡平獍嫦略 Physics Professor Ivan Smalyukh and his team have achieved a remarkable milestone by receiving a Guinness World Records award for creating the world's most transparent material. Their aerogel, which has now been successfully patented, can be added to windows to boost thermal insulation, increasing the overall efficiency of a building.
  • A pair of gloved hands holds a human heart on the left while the right hand stretches a flexible, mesh-like device near the heart. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the heart and the mesh device.
    蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Today鈥擜 蜜桃传媒破解版下载-led team, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, has taken a critical step toward developing a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand a heart鈥檚 persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints and easily shapable to fit a patient鈥檚 unique defects.
  • A conceptual diagram illustrates a small space lander labeled "Lander" and an adjacent unit labeled "CEDA (1U)" on the surface of a celestial body. The diagram shows a trajectory of dust particles being ejected from the surface and arcing over the lander. The background is dark, representing space, while the surface of the celestial body is depicted in shades of gray, suggesting a rocky or dusty terrain.
    LASP鈥擳o learn more about how dust particles may affect future missions, NASA has awarded $1 million to a team from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 to develop a Rubik鈥檚 cube-sized instrument. Once built and tested, CEDA (Compact Electrostatic Dust Analyzer) will be capable of measuring the speed, size and charge of tiny dust particles on rocky bodies less than 5 kilometers across.
  • Illustration of molecules separating
    College of Arts and Sciences Magazine鈥斆厶掖狡平獍嫦略 chemist Wei Zhang has developed a novel method to separate gases more efficiently, potentially revolutionizing industries reliant on gas separation technologies. Their breakthrough, which utilizes advanced materials and innovative techniques, promises to reduce energy consumption and enhance the sustainability of these processes.
  • A man wearing protective lab clothes looks through a microscope
    蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Today鈥擱esearchers at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 will soon begin working on what they call the 鈥渜uantum machine shop鈥 of the 21st century. The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced a $20 million grant to 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 to launch a facility known as the National Quantum Nanofab (NQN). In this facility, Colorado researchers and quantum specialists from around the country will be able to design and build incredibly small devices that tap into the world of atoms and photons鈥攖he tiny packets of energy that make up light.
  • A balding man in a suit sits at a desk in front of the 蜜桃传媒破解版下载 logo and the official seal for the State of Colorado signs a document
    蜜桃传媒破解版下载 Today鈥擟olorado Gov. Jared Polis ushered in a new bill to support the state鈥檚 rapidly growing quantum industry. Polis signed the bill from the top floor of the JILA Tower, one of the epicenters of quantum research on campus, with a view of the Flatirons in the background.
