Emerging Innovations
Developed by CU «Ƶ researcher Nick Singstock, this novel process for producing sulfuric acid shows early signs of increased efficiency, reduced emissions and reduced CapEx.
Born out of the Neu Soft Tissue Bioengineering Lab at CU «Ƶ, TissueForm supplies natural replacement biomaterials to the next generation of implantable medical devices to positively impact patients suffering from tissue loss due to disease, damage, or aging. The biomedical technology company is focusing on the pathway to commercialize its first product, NatruDerme, looking to raise seed financing alongside non-dilutive federal and state grants to enable critical FDA-pathway defined manufacturing and pre-clinical studies.
Researchers in the lab of Aerospace Engineering Professor Dr. Hanspeter Schaub, led by second year aerospace PhD Álvaro Romero-Calvo, have effectively utilized magnetic buoyancy to enhance electrolysis, boiling, and phase separation technologies in space. This team won a grant from Blue Origin wherein their apparatus will be sent into Space on a Blue Origin rocket for testing.
Researchers in Associate Professor Greg Rieker's lab are developing a machine learning-based signal processing scheme facilitates measuring the angular velocities in fluid flows using small particles that traverse beams of structured light.
Prof. Christopher Bowman’s research group has also employed a new set of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) to induce interfacial bond exchange resulting in stress relaxation on demand while retaining a strong, covalent chemical attachment between the matrix and filler phases.
Prof. Christopher Bowman’s group has developed a method for the generation of high molecular weight polymers in an efficient, rapid, and facile manner.
Researchers at CU «Ƶ have developed a method that increases the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Cooperative Energy Pooling (CEP) for photonic upconversion, which is a method where a material absorbs low-energy photons and emits photons of higher energy.
A running and cycling shoe providing the stiffness and the cleat platform needed for high performance cycling while also providing the midsole cushioning, flexibility, and rigidity needed for high performance running.
Dr. Garret Moddel at has invented a method to harvest energy from an ambient temperature source.
Novel PARP1/2 inhibitor compounds that interact with the HPF1 part of the PARP active site to form more stable and effective inhibitors can be used for treating cancer, neurotoxicity and vascular disease.
