CU Boulder researchers have discovered that a synthetic molecule based on natural antifreeze proteins minimizes freeze-thaw damage and increases the strength and durability of concrete, improving the longevity of new infrastructure and decreasing carbon emissions over its lifetime.
Aging satellites and space debris crowd low-Earth orbit, and launching new satellites adds to collision risks. The most effective way to solve the space junk problem involves an international agreement to charge operators orbital-use fees.
A robust set of COVID-19 mitigation measures, no tuition increase for all undergraduate students and a highly adaptable academic framework highlight the plan to welcome students back to campus in the fall, Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano announced on May 26.
