Research
- The air quality study, led by mechanical engineering PhD candidate Aniya Khalili, aims to inspire the community to lead cleaner lifestyles and promote further research on pesticide exposure.
- Professor Robert MacCurdy has developed a new way to 3D-print liquid and solid materials together, potentially leading to more dynamic and useful products—from robots to wearable electronic devices.
- Researchers at the °µÍø½ûÇø and Anschutz Medical Campus are exploring several imaging techniques aimed at creating miniature microscopes that are lightweight enough to be worn by freely moving mice as they navigate a maze or socialize with other mice.
- The 2022 Research & Innovation Seed Grants are funding 25 new projects in all for up to $50,000 each. The seed grant program is designed to stimulate new and exciting areas of research and creative work on campus.
- The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization (COSINC) facility will host a two-day workshop and training session on Material 3D-Nanofabrication and Characterization from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. April 21 and 22 on the CU Boulder campus.
- Watch Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Francois Barthelat give a seminar on how studying mollusk shells and teeth inspired his group to create a new type of toughened glass.
- Research from Professor Debanjan Mukherjee and a collaborative team of biomedical engineers, physicians and researchers could enable significant advances for the 40,000 pediatric congenital heart disease patients (CHD) born each year.
- The College of Engineering and Applied Science will host a research blitz and poster session featuring work from within the interdisciplinary research themes from 3 - 6 p.m. on April 12 in the DLC lobby and first floor meeting spaces.
- A new study led by Professor Franck Vernerey lays out the simple physics-based rules that govern how these ant rafts morph over time: shrinking, expanding or growing long protrusions like an elephant’s trunk. The team’s findings could one day help researchers design robots that work together in swarms or next-generation materials in which molecules migrate to fix damaged spots.
- The collaborative work could boost health and drug advancements by giving researchers a better understanding of primary and secondary radiation forces in multiphase colloidal systems – such as emulsions, foams, membranes and gels.
