Science & Technology
- A $3 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) will allow ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ researchers to simulate particle behavior to a greater degree than ever before.
- A team of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial with the ability to cool objects under direct sunlight with zero energy and water consumption.
- With "high-end ethics" a tenet of how they operate, a team of researchers and alumni have put their skill sets together to turn a nano idea — an imperceptibly thin coating that can improve surfaces such as plastics — into a successful technology.
- ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ researcher Aaron Clauset examines the possibilities and limits of using massive data sets of scientific papers and information on scientific careers to study the social processes that underlie discoveries.
- New evidence indicates that humans were the primary cause of the Australian megafauna extinction around 45,000 years ago.Â
- Bolstering their 60-year relationship, Ball Aerospace and ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ this week announced a new agreement designed to make it easier for students and faculty to collaborate on research projects with Ball scientists.
- Neanderthals get a bad rap. CU archaeologist Paola Villa is helping set the record straight, suggesting Neanderthals were far more nimble intellectually than they get credit for.
- The ancient Puebloan people, numbered in the thousands, could not have grown enough food where they lived in New Mexico, likely forcing them to import their sustenance, a ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ scientist has discovered.
- A new study pinpoints when the Galápagos Islands developed their unique ecology.
