Research co-authored by Megan Zabinski and M. Deane Bowers reveals how museum butterfly specimens, some almost a century old, can still offer insight into chemical defense of insects and plants.
A former NASA engineer and retired aerospace engineering professor reflects on lessons learned from the space shuttle tragedy.
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder joins Medtronic in strategic partnership to drive breakthrough health innovations¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder and two other ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä campuses have been chosen from a nationwide search to partner with Medtronic—a global leader in health care technology—in a strategic research agreement aimed at accelerating transformative health innovations.
In a recent study, a team of physicists at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder demonstrated the ability to align a laser-ionized plasma source with the electron beam in an ultra-precise and automated way, paving the way for future developments in making plasma wakefield accelerators a reality.
A team of engineers has developed a new device that works like a laser but, instead of light, generates incredibly small vibrations called surface acoustic waves.
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä researchers have created shape-shifting microparticles that change their shape in response to environmental factors for self-directed propulsion and navigation.
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder researchers have developed a laser-based imaging method called stimulated Raman scattering to improve the performance of desalination plants by allowing real-time detection of membrane fouling. The advance could help make desalination more efficient and reliable as global demand for clean water rises.
