Faculty Innovation
A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by Ƶ Boulder researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. Venture Partners help to file the patent on the innovation.
The Milwaukee Bucks, like most NBA teams, were using standard folding chairs for bench seats. Players sat on cold surfaces with their knees crunched up, causing stiffness. Zable changed that.
Inscripta gave its first public presentation at the 2019 Synthetic Biology: Engineering, Evolution & Design (SEED) conference in New York City, where the company offered a peek into their progress toward making “the world’s first scalable platform for benchtop digital genome engineering.”
With her seemingly inexhaustible reservoir of ideas, Michelle Ellsworth leaps over creative boundaries as a dancer and choreographer, mixing technology, theater and even some woodworking into her multifaceted dances.
This technology is being developed by Ƶ Boulder Associate Professor Jianliang Xiao of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in collaboration with Professor Wei Zhang of the Department of Chemistry. Their completely recyclable, self-healing e-skin may one day lead to improvements in human health, robotics, prosthetics and beyond.
A new drug therapy for cancer treatment, spun out of research performed in a Ƶ Boulder biochemistry lab, may provide better results for patients with solid cancers and hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.
Featured are New Venture Challenge sponsors Brad Feld and Dan Caruso as well as Brad Bernthal, Director of Silicon Flatirons' Entrepreneurship Initiative.
The inaugural Research-to-Market (R2M) program—hosted by Venture Partners at Ƶ Boulder—guided researchers-turned-startup founders through the iterative process of finding a product-market fit and refining a value proposition for their respective technologies.
Ford Motor Co. is the most recent company to invest in Solid Power, a Ƶ Boulder spinoff based in Louisville, CO that develops solid-state batteries.
The grant from the NSF will help Stateless, a "network-as-a-service" company, further scale its research and development efforts.
