Science & Technology
For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics research and tests of fundamental theories. But researchers at JILA, in collaboration with the Technical University of Vienna, are pushing beyond atomic transitions to something potentially even more stable: a nuclear clock.
Funded through nearly $1.5 million approved by the Colorado Economic Development Commission, these grants bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and commercialization.
New CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ research harnesses the power of an ultrafast microscope to study molecular movement in space and time.
CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ researcher Eva Pietri studies how stories can help address gender bias and create inclusivity.
In her Writing in the Age of AI course, CU ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ’s Teresa Nugent helps students think critically about new technology.
Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and drones.
Assistant Professor Longji Cui and his team have developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way that literally teases the basic law of thermal physics.
A new laser-based device can scan almost any sample of gas and detect its molecular ingredients down to concentrations in the parts per trillion—not unlike an expert sommelier taking a sniff of a glass of wine.
The Research & Innovation Office announced a targeted realignment in November to enhance strategic integration across key areas and best position itself to serve the university's growing research and innovation needs.
One popular theory suggests that elementary particles like electrons, which make up everything in the universe, could be infinitely small—you could zoom in and in on them and never see anything.
