- The AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant program announced its inaugural round of grants totaling $625,000 for novel research projects integrating expertise from the Ƶ Anschutz and Ƶ Boulder campuses.
- Researchers at Ƶ Boulder are collaborating to develop a new kind of biocompatible actuator that contracts and relaxes in only one dimension, like muscles. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
- Professors Shelly Miller and Nina Vance, along with Miller's daughter, Renee Leiden, produced a video explaining how the transmission of respiratory infections can occur.
- Public health officials, including mechanical engineering Professor Shelly Miller, urge families to keep celebrations small, avoid mixing households and open the windows.
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are developing a wearable electronic device that’s “really wearable”—a stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that’s inspired by, and sticks onto, human skin.
- With COVID-19 cases on the rise nationally, it is more important than ever to reduce one’s risk of contracting or spreading the virus. Learn from expert Shelly Miller about the ways we can all help reduce our risk and keep our communities safe.
- Emeritus Professor John Daily was selected to be an NSF rotator, or program director, for the Combustion and Fire Systems Program. He is looking forward to providing direction in the field by encouraging conversations about the important questions and future needs.
- Hear from Associate Professor Gregory Whiting, who discusses the implications of a growing population on the world's soil and how his research group is developing new sensors to help create solutions to pressing economic, environmental and human challenges.
- Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers across disciplines have developed a way to diagnose these conditions with greater precision in only one minute.
- A Ƶ-Boulder research team of scientists and musicians seek to find out how musical ensembles around the world can continue to safely perform music together during the pandemic.
