Science & Technology
- Coffee could be the key to reducing 3D printing waste, according to a new study. Researchers with the ATLAS Institute and Department of Computer Science developed a method for 3D printing using a paste made out of old coffee grounds.
- Researchers from ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ will take part in a new $30 million center to examine the potential for sound to revolutionize computing, communications, sensing disease in human tissue and more.
- Imagine a robot that can wedge itself through the cracks in rubble to search for survivors trapped in the wreckage of a collapsed building. Engineers at ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ are moving one step closer to that goal with CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect.
- Sanghamitra Neogi has earned a $1 million Department of Defense contract to tackle a big problem with tiny electronics: microchips crippled by heat.
- Researchers led by JILA and NIST fellows Jun Ye and David Nesbitt along with scientists from other universities have observed novel ergodicity-breaking in C60, a highly symmetric molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged on the vertices of a soccer ball pattern.
- An expert from the College of Media, Communication and Information assesses the media landscape as The New York Times and the Associated Press chart different courses on generative artificial intelligence.
- Associate Professor Mija Hubler and her team of researchers and partners are developing a technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. The project has landed a $10 million Department of Defense grant.
- ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ theater instructor Jordan Feeler learned how to troubleshoot sparkly homages to Michael Jackson and illuminated magician props while working with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas.
- Engineers at ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ have designed a new, shape-shifting display that can fit on a card table and allows users to draw 3D designs and more.
- Using innovative fluorescent sensors and computational modeling, ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ biochemistry researcher Amy Palmer tracked naturally cycling cells to better understand an essential micronutrient.
