Artificial intelligence has reached an "inflection point," according to technology experts from CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ. New tools like ChatGPT, which rolled out late last year, are poised to transform offices, high school classrooms and more—in potentially good and bad ways.
A geologist and an engineer discuss what made the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria so devastating, how the region shares similar geology with California and how lessons learned can help the world prepare for the next big one.
A collaborative study, including CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ associate professor Andrew McAdam, investigates how the risks and rewards of red squirrel reproduction are a microcosm of evolutionary patterns.
What happens when an expert on natural language processing asks a chatbot to write a children's book in the style of Dr. Seuss? Professor Kai Larsen put the question to the test.
A model of your very own kidney made entirely from soft and pliable polymers? Researchers at two CU campuses are on the cusp of 3D printing realistic replicas of human anatomy.
For people who are blind or visually impaired, finding the right products in a crowded grocery store can be difficult without help. A team of computer scientists at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ is trying to change that.
If you plop these thin wafers, made up of several layers of rubber-like material, onto a hot plate, they will begin to warp. Then, suddenly and explosively, they leap into the air.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology laboratories have housed atomic clocks for decades—including the cesium atomic clock NIST-F1, which serves as the primary time and frequency standard in the U.S. Researchers continue to improve the clocks' accuracies, a process that sometimes has included rebuilding parts.
Germophobes, brace yourselves. A team of CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ engineers has revealed how tiny water droplets, invisible to the naked eye, are rapidly ejected into the air when a public restroom toilet is flushed. The research also provides a methodology to help reduce this exposure risk.
Scientists from three countries report that materials inspired by nature could one day help engineers design new kinds of solar panels, robots and even coatings for ultra-fast jets.
