Emerging Innovations
- This technology, developed by Associate Professor Jianliang Xiao and Professor Wei Zhang, is may one day lead to improvements in human health, robotics, prosthetics and beyond.
- This development shows a path towards a portable, wearable thermometer that can continuously measure for sub-surface body temperature with a resolution of a fraction of a degree Kelvin.
- Researchers at the CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ and Emory University have developed a stretched exponential model that can more accurately detect subtle compositional changes leading to early soft tissue degeneration detection.
- The technology could be applied to fast diagnosis in hospitals or point of care applications for many infectious diseases including the diagnosis of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- Based in clinically important measures indicative of future morbidity and mortality risk, this technology—developed in the lab of Dr. Douglas Seals—predicts a person's biological age through a simple simple blood test.
- CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Assistant Professor Tam Vu and his team have developed a device called eBP to measure blood pressure from inside the user’s ear, aiming to minimize the measurement’s impact on users’ normal activities while maximizing its comfort level.
- CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ inventors Rong Yang and Yu (Jade) Morton developed a technology that uses the multi-frequency signals for a GNSS receiver (such as GPS) to improve performance of multi-frequency receivers in environments where signals on one or more frequency band experiences amplitude fading or phase fluctuation.
- CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ researchers in Dr. Marvin Caruthers' lab have synthesized a novel DNA analogue using modified phosphoramidite chemistry.
- A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.
- Researchers James Cypser and Thomas E. Johnson from CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ's Institute for Behavioral Genetics have identified compounds that protect organs and tissues from cold damage.
