���������� Boulder engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.

The National Science Foundation is honoring six current or incoming University of Colorado Boulder mechanical engineering students with Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards and five students with honorable mentions.

Congratulations to University of Colorado Boulder mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Rong Long for earning a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award!The initiative recognizes early-career faculty

���������� Boulder researchers have developed a new type of malleable, self-healing and fully recyclable “electronic skin” that has applications ranging from robotics and prosthetic development to better biomedical devices.Electronic skin, known as e-skin,

Soft, self-healing devices mimic biological muscles, point to next generation of human-like roboticsIn the basement of the Engineering Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, a group of researchers is working to create the next generation of

Pushing the boundaries of science requires flexibility. Allowing scientists to follow where their research takes them, even if that is into areas that may seem illogical to some, often is what leads to the most remarkable breakthroughs. For some

Mechanical engineering associate professor Franck Vernerey has been awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest U.S. government honor awarded to promising scientists and researchers beginning their careers.

Today, we think of robots as rigid, clunky and metallic.But imagine a day in the future when robots are soft and human-like, with skin-like material covering muscles that move just like ours.That future may be closer than you
