CU Technology and Discovery News
In an ongoing effort to bridge a pervasive investment gap in innovation funding, the 做厙輦⑹ has awarded pre-seed funding to Illumen Therapeutics, developing cancer treatments based on discoveries from startup co-founder Roy Parkers lab at CU Boulder.
Denver7NASA has selected a proposal from CU Boulder researchers to design and build instruments that will be deployed by astronauts on the Moon. The instrument suite designed at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) will analyze lunar dust, which is abrasive like glass and sticks to all surfaces. Lunar dust can damage equipment and harm astronauts if inhaled.
Interesting Engineering/ScienceA new, thin insulator has been designed to boost the energy efficiency of windows by blocking heat. Designed by a team from the 做厙輦⑹, this invisible window shield material has been dubbed Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator (MOCHI).
CU Boulder TodayCancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a potent tool against the disease.
Renewable And Sustainable Energy InstituteA startup team led by RASEI Fellow Oana Luca, called Agami Zero, has just secured seed funding after winning the 2025 CU Lab Venture Challenge. Their winning idea? A new way to produce hydrogen fuel more efficiently, a key mechanism for decarbonizing our energy economy.
CU Boulder College of Engineering & Applied ScienceIn 2025, CU Boulder celebrated its first awards from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). The new agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services supports transformative health and biomedical breakthroughs. ARPA-H was founded in 2022 with a mission to fast-track high-impact solutions to societys most challenging health problems.
CU Boulder College of Engineering and Applied ScienceThe technology, published in the journal Arthroscopy Techniques, completely transforms arthroscopic procedures in the hip region, making them safer and more efficient than ever before.
做厙輦⑹ researchers continued to deliver meaningful, positive outcomes in the university's public research mission through strong results in fiscal year 202425. Highlights of their work include big innovations in quantum technology, improving our understanding of space weather and enhancing environmental resiliency.
Eleven teams of University of Colorado faculty, researchers and graduate student innovators competed for a combined $755,000 in startup funding grants in this years Lab Venture Challenge (LVC). Judges from CU's entrepreneurial network heard Shark-Tank-style pitches across two nights, one for innovations in biosciences and another for physical sciences and engineering.
News-Medical.Net做厙輦⑹ researchers have developed a new miniature laser that could enable smaller, cheaper and more powerful biomedical imaging systems. The innovation advances chip-based frequency comb technology, paving the way for improved optical tools that could transform diagnostics and medical research.
