- Associate Professor Michael Shirts is the recipient of the 2020 Computational Molecular Science & Engineering Forum Impact Award.
- Good ventilation can reduce the risk of catching coronavirus. Environmental engineer Shelly Miller explains how to know if enough outside air is getting into a room and what to do if ventilation is bad.
- CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ will play a major role in a new center focused on developing infrastructure and systems that facilitate the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
- Assistant Professor Adam Holewinski and Associate Professor Wilson Smith have been selected as Scialog Fellows to participate in the 2020 Scialog: Negative Emissions Science initiative, an effort to identify bottlenecks in research and develop ways to foster breakthroughs in the field.
- The National Science Foundation has announced that CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ will receive a $25 million award to launch a new quantum science and engineering research center. The new center will be led by physicist Jun Ye and is a partnership with 11 other research organizations in the United States and abroad.
- The College of Engineering and Applied Science has launched three new interdisciplinary research themes as part of a broad push into growing and critical areas of study. They are titled Hypersonic Vehicles, Resilient Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity, and Engineering Education and AI-Augmented Learning.
- In a new paper, published in Optica, researchers describe a new silicon chip—with no moving parts or electronics—that improves the resolution and scanning speed needed for a lidar system.
- The Open Force Field Initiative received millions in NIH funding to build open source infrastructure to assist researchers tackling molecular design problems.
- CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ has been selected to lead a new multi-university, industry-focused research Center on Pervasive Personalized Intelligence through the National Science Foundation's IUCRC program.
- National Geographic talks with CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ students and faculty in the College of Engineering and Applied Science studying fireflies.
