The Research & Innovation Office (RIO) and New Frontiers Grant partners—the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Engineering & Applied Sciences, and the School of Education—announced planning grant winners in the inaugural round of the New Frontiers Grant Program, a novel initiative designed to foster new, interdisciplinary research directions for CU ��«��Ƶ. Jeff Cameron— Professor in Biochemistry and a Fellow in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) is the lead PI on the project selected due to its Extraordinary Commercialization Potential and the project's focus is on: Global challenges in sustainability and computational efficiency demand the development of energy-efficient, unconventional computing approaches that utilize renewable sources and carbon fixation processes, thereby addressing urgent climate change and energy concerns. This project will harness CU ��«��Ƶ's expertise in physics, lasers, optics, materials science, and biology, creating a novel interdisciplinary domain that integrates neuromorphic computing with biophotonics and manufacturing. The collaborative team includes: Physics; Mechanical Engineering; Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; BioFrontiers; National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Bacterial Disco Lights: Using light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria to form liquid crystalline active matter

This collaboration, between a bacterial biochemist and a condensed-matter physicist, uses light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria, forming two- and three-dimensional nematic liquid crystalline states that could provide significant opportunities to regulate the behavior of the bacterial systems and open up new areas in bio-manufacturing that use carbon dioxide as the feedstock for the production of oxygen, biofuels, or biomaterials.

How To Build A Climate-Friendly Skyscraper: Start Small. Petri-Dish Small.

Prometheus Materials has a solution for replacing one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gasses, financial backing from Microsoft and an aggressive plan to scale up quickly.

Petri Dish Days

Four ��«��Ƶ academics, Jeff Cameron, Sherri Cook, Mija Hubler and Wil Srubar — all Prometheus cofounders and advisors — stumbled onto the idea while searching for a solution to a different problem.

They’d received a $2.4 million grant from the Department of Defense’s research arm in 2017 to see if they could use biology to produce protective structures in deserts and other remote environments with difficult terrain. “They knew they couldn’t fly in concrete because it’s too heavy, and they knew they didn’t want to truck it in over large expanses of hostile territory,” Burnett says. “So if they could use local materials to produce hardened structures to protect troops and high-value military assets, that’s what they wanted to do.”

Jeffrey Cameron, one of the four cofounders and current advisors to Prometheus, had taken research for the start-up into his basement as his lab facilities could *not* be used for commercial activities and until venture funding started coming in to afford the start-up space needed to grow the company.

University of Colorado soars into top five for launching startups

CU ��«��Ƶ’s startups launched in 2021 included Prometheus Materials, a company spun out of the labs of Wil Srubar, Mija Hubler and Sherri Cook in Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at the College of Engineering and Applied Science, and Jeff Cameron in Biochemistry at the College of Arts and Sciences.

Prometheus aims to eliminate most if not all carbon emissions associated with traditional concrete-based building materials. Instead, the venture uses micro-algae to help produce zero-carbon “bio-concrete” that can supplant traditional construction materials while matching or even surpassing the strength of conventional concrete. “With this material, we can really make a difference in the world,” said CEO Loren Burnett. The company’s approach circumvents the traditional concrete production process, which pumps roughly 11 million tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere daily.

Scientists have been studying cyanobacteria and its many potential applications for decades, from cutting CO2 emissions to creating a substitute for oil-based plastics, but there wasn’t a deep understanding of the full life cycle and metabolism of specialized compartments within these common bacteria – until now.
