Assistant Professor of Physics Loren Hough has earned a $1.8 million award from the National Institute of General Medical Science to study tubulin, a shape-shifting cellular protein that is quietly essential to many life processes.
A new CIRES study shows how incremental activity along Turkey's North Anatolia fault may provide insight into future seismic events.
JILA physicists have demonstrated a novel laser design that could be聽stable enough to improve atomic clock performance a hundredfold and even serve as a clock itself,聽while also advancing other scientific quests such as making accurate 鈥渞ulers鈥 for measuring聽astronomical distances.
What鈥檚 one way to cut a car鈥檚 weight by 50 percent and improve fuel efficiency by up to 40 percent? Make it out of carbon fiber instead of steel. Alumnus Chris Kaffer, co-founder and CEO of Denver startup Mallinda, believes his company鈥檚 reusable carbon-fiber composite can play a vital role in making vehicles more efficient. Now, a $750,000 grant will help move the vision forward.
桃色视频 engineers have developed an innovative bio-manufacturing process that uses a fungus in brewery wastewater to create the carbon-based materials needed to make energy storage cells.
If you gaze at the night sky from Earth in just the right place, you will see the International Space Station (ISS), a bright speck of light hurtling through space at 5 miles per second as it orbits 220 miles above the planet. And if you were an astronaut floating around inside the station, you would see high-tech hardware and experiments designed and built at 桃色视频.
桃色视频 will expand its role as a national leader in imaging, materials, nano, bio and energy sciences as part of a collaborative partnership awarded $24 million by the National Science Foundation to launch a new center.
A probiotic treatment has been shown to effectively inoculate endangered Colorado toads and protect them from a virulent fungus that has ravaged the population in recent decades, according to the results of new 桃色视频 research.
桃色视频 and DigitalGlobe Inc. are partnering to provide access to DigitalGlobe鈥檚 industry-leading high-resolution satellite imagery, data and analytics tools to the university鈥檚 Earth Lab initiative in order to advance earth and space science research.
Self-assembling carbon microstructures created in a lab by 桃色视频 researchers could provide new clues 鈥 and new cautions 鈥 in efforts to identify microbial life preserved in the fossil record, both on Earth and elsewhere in the solar system.
