Science & Technology
- A new strategy for measuring magnetic fields could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensorsāfrom tools that might map out the activity of the human brain to devices that could help airplane pilots navigate the globe.
- CU Boulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS.
- Beer historian and CU Boulder Assistant Professor Travis Rupp explains why canned beer, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has been immensely impactful for the industry.
- Last year, CU Boulder helped to launch a record 35 new companies. These businesses are pioneering new technologies from sensors for monitoring soil health to breathalyzers that can sniff out signs of lung cancer.
- In a recent study, CU Boulderās Robert Moulder and colleagues found that individuals with trait neuroticism rarely modify how they respond to negative emotions.
- CU Boulderās Living Materials Laboratory contributed to groundbreaking research showing how engineered microbes can create bioglass microlenses, paving the way for advanced imaging technologies in medicine and materials science.
- As the clock ticks down for TikTok, Casey Fiesler, a technology ethicist at CU Boulder, says that U.S. lawmakers are focusing on the harms of social media and not the benefits.
- Scientists use devices known as frequency comb lasers to search for methane in the air above oil and gas operations and to screen for signs of infection in human breath. A new study from CU Boulder could help make these sensors even more precise.
- CU Boulder anthropologist Matt Sponheimer says the 3.2 million-year-old hominin āLucyā is pivotal to the science of human origins a half-century after her discovery.
- A new quantum incubator coming to Colorado will provide private companies with a testbed to transform ideas for quantum technologies into products that will benefit consumers in the Mountain West and beyond.
