Research
- The project aims to shift some of the most time-consuming tasks done in laboratory work to robots by developing new, open-source robot software and innovative hardware designs.
- The challenges of wildfires, industrial pollution and vehicle emissions have centered the issue of outdoor air quality in the public consciousness.With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the realization that the pathogen primarily transmits
- Last summer, over 3,500 leaders from more than 500 university and college engineering schools attended the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exposition. Rebecca "Becky" Komarek and her co-authors, Angela Bielefeldt and Daniel Knight won Best Paper LEAD Division and the Best Overall Professional Interest Council (PIC) paper award across a group of divisions.
- Studying how insects perform key tasks is giving scientists insight into how robots can achieve complex actions with limited processing power, pointing towards building them on the scale of flies and cockroaches.
- Researchers at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder are using lasers to precisely quantify the performance of high-speed engines. Those measurements — recently described in detail in Optica — are key to propelling superfast hypersonic vehicles and providing better engine performance overall.
- The Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering had another successful year for research funding, bringing in 37 new awards and funding on 72 existing sponsored projects, which totaled nearly $14 million.Fiscal year 2022 marked 10 consecutive
- The Quantum Engineering Initiative (QEI) Collaboration Lab will encourage cross-campus research and experiments in the high-impact field of quantum engineering.
- Scientists at LongPath and ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder are using new laser technology to do what other technologies have struggled to do for years: detect natural gas, which is invisible to the eye, leaking from pipes at sites like this, in real time.
- The slide deck is part of presentations given by IRT directors in April on accomplishments and activity within their themes to date. They include details on funding results, important research findings and other lessons learned from the initiative.
