Science & Technology
- LongPath is harnessing quantum technology to detect methane emissions from oil and gas operations, innovation that benefits industry and investors—and the planet.
- Gov. Jared Polis unveiled plans to invest $74 million in Colorado’s quantum ecosystem. The new refundable tax credit program aims to maximize the state’s competitiveness as a tech hub—including CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, already a global leader in quantum research and innovation—to win an additional $70 million in federal funding.
- A statewide coalition of higher education and industry partners has outlined a detailed vision for Colorado to translate its legacy as a national leader in quantum information science and technology into workforce development and educational opportunities.
- Hundreds of scientists and journalists will flock to the Colorado Convention Center Feb. 15 to 17 to hear from the world’s leading scientists at the American association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting.
- An expert from the College of Media, Communication and Information notes that, in its ongoing conquest of legacy media studios, the tech industry has made use of a very old playbook.
- Researchers wrote new computer algorithms to redesign the interiors of padding down to the scale of a millimeter or less. The result: New kinds of cushions that can absorb as much as 25% more force than current state-of-the-art technologies.
- In a new study, physics professor Jun Ye and his research team have taken a significant step in understanding the intricate and collective light-atom interactions within atomic clocks, the most precise clocks in the universe.
- A broad coalition of stakeholders gathered at CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ on Jan. 25 to celebrate the state and university’s key roles in sustaining a vibrant semiconductor ecosystem and to discuss how to shape its future.
- A new patch the size of a BandAid could help bridge the gap between humans and machines—a possible real world Iron Man technology in the making.
- As reported in a new Nature paper, the theory and experiment teams of JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey and James Thompson, in collaboration with others, simulated superconductivity under such excited conditions using an atom-cavity system.
