Faculty
- An exceptionally versatile and promising NIST technology now available for patent licensing or a CRADA is the "Atomic Magnetometer and method of sensing of magnetic fields."
- Potentially harmful chemicals generated by the Marshall Fire in late 2021 may have lingered inside some Boulder County homes for weeks after the disaster—hiding in small particles of dust that residents could have mixed back into the air when they vacuumed carpets or turned on fans, according to recent research.
- Assistant Professor Marina Vance of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar Award for research that will investigate the use of fixed-location and mobile low-cost air quality monitors in Indonesia.
- Assistant Professor Nick Bottenus of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering has been awarded a Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Award for research advancing the state of ultrasound molecular imaging.
- Thanks to research carried out by Professor MacCurdy and Professor Whiting, the development of robots with human-like muscles that produce autonomous movement are one step closer to becoming a reality.
- Wiedinmyer discusses with the Scientific American how smoke from record-setting wildfires in Canada has blanketed parts of the eastern U.S.
- As the COVID-19 virus began to sweep across the U.S. in March 2020, the university convened a group of experts who would help shape the campus response. The priority of “the Team,” as the committee came to be known, quickly became the safety of the Boulder community.
- Engineers have designed a new class of 'microrobots' several times smaller than the width of a human hair that may be able to treat human illnesses like interstitial cystitis.
- DriveWorks interviews Dan Riffell, who delves into his previous work in mechanical engineering and how it played a role in leading him to become the Associate Professor of Practice at University of Colorado in Boulder.
