��������Ƶ Independent—Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are working to make the moon habitable. And they are focused on one of the most difficult challenges to lunar living: dust. Xu Wang, a research scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at ��������Ƶ Boulder, was one of the winners of NASA’s 2023 Entrepreneurs Challenge.

SciTechDaily—JILA's (a joint institute established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder) breakthrough in optical atomic clocks uses quantum entanglement to surpass fundamental precision limits, setting a new standard in timekeeping and opening avenues for scientific discovery.

Global Cosmetics News—Tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy, famous for working with celebrities, has created a company, Hyprskn, to launch a new product called “Magic Ink.” Developed with Professor Carson Bruns from ��������Ƶ Boulder, Magic Ink can be controlled with a special stylus, the “magic pen,” that uses two wavelengths of light to activate or deactivate the tattoo’s visibility.

Research & Innovation Office (RIO)—��������Ƶ Boulder announced seven winners of the 2023-2024 translational quantum research seed grants, incentivizing quantum science and technology innovations launched from the lab to accelerate them along the

��������Ƶ Anschutz 360—��������Ƶ Boulder plays a crucial role in fostering innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and technological advancement in drug discovery and development, particularly through its expertise in quantum computing and AI and its collaborative efforts with ��������Ƶ Anschutz and other institutions.

Sixteen teams of University of Colorado faculty, researchers and graduate student innovators competed for a combined $1.5 million in startup funding grants.

Pulse 2.0—��������Ƶ Boulder startup BioLoomics, the company pioneering the directed evolution of target degrading antibodies using human cells, recently announced it has raised $8.7 million in seed financing to advance its proprietary platform technology and antibody degrader programs.

��������Ƶ Boulder Today—The Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect (CLARI) comes from a team of engineers at ��������Ƶ Boulder. The little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs. Ultimately, the team wants to develop shape-changing robots that can move through a complex, natural space—in which the machines will need to bounce off obstacles like trees or even blades of grass or push through the cracks between rocks and keep going.

Daily Camera—��������Ƶ Boulder researchers have created a new method to produce clean fuel that could someday give consumers a more environmentally friendly option at the gas pump. In addition to transportation, the new method could open doors to clean and sustainable energy sources for industries, including steelmaking and ammonia production.

Cyberguy—��������Ƶ Boulder startup Point Designs is working to help the healthcare industry through cutting-edge technology in the form of finger prosthetics. The team at Point Designs is combining clinical care with innovative additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, to give hope to people who have received medical denials in the past when it comes to missing fingers or hands.
