- Assistant Professor Marina Vance’s group has published a new research paper titled “Indoor particulate matter during HOMEChem: Concentrations, size distributions, and exposures” in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
- McNeill, a mechanical engineering instructor in the program for the last eight years, will start the new position on July 1.
- Researchers at CU «Ƶ have developed an improved method for controlling smart tinting on windows that could make them cheaper, more effective and more durable than current options on the market.
- A multidisciplinary team is working to build a pilot-scale system capable of producing 10,000 to 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines per run that would be ready for use as human trials of vaccines begin in the next year.
- This machine, the brainchild of CU «Ƶ engineer Kaushik Jayaram and colleagues at Harvard University, gives a whole new meaning to the word small: HAMR-Jr can just about squeeze onto the surface of a penny and weighs far less than a paperclip.
- CU «Ƶ researchers have discovered that a synthetic molecule based on natural antifreeze proteins minimizes freeze-thaw damage and increases the strength and durability of concrete, improving the longevity of new infrastructure and decreasing carbon emissions over its lifetime.
- Innovative 'backpack' particles help macrophages resist assimilation by tumors.
- Professor Yifu Ding is starting a new research project that explores how soft robots of the future could include new materials inspired by snakeskin.
- CU «Ƶ biomedical engineer Jacob Segil is working to bring back that sense of touch for amputees, including veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- A new interdisciplinary project from the National Science Foundation aims to improve our understanding of solar flares and our ability to predict them.
