Nearly 80% of stroke survivors experience walking issues and many turn to ankle braces for support, but the functionality of these braces is still very limited. Assistant Professor Cara Welker is leading a new, collaborative research project that aims to transform the way these assistive devices are designed.
Doctoral student Krithik Ranjan analyzed 33 student learning tools and developed a “spectrum of tinkerability” that offers designers new ways to think about teaching computational skills.
Four seniors in the Quantum Forge class at Boulder recently completed their year-long project with Xairos Systems, Inc., giving them an inside look at working in the industry.
A recent event, which drew 166 participants to the Boulder campus, marked an industry-wide step toward cutting emissions tied to building materials like steel and concrete.
In research recently published in Science, Boulder scientists detail how light—rather than energy-intensive heat—can efficiently and sustainably catalyze chemical transformations.
Samuel Silberman, an incoming doctoral student in electrical engineering, has landed a prestigious fellowship to support research into radio frequency lens design using advanced 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
Nanomaterials and neuroscience researchers aim to build brain-body interfaces that enhance performance, improve health monitoring and support mobility.
Mushroom mycelium can help clean up soil. Can it also help Indigenous people reconnect to the land? Boulder researcher Natalie Avalos aims to find out.
Improved understanding of the light-driven production of hydrogen holds the promise not just to make the reaction more efficient in producing a fuel but also to offer a framework to better understand future light-driven chemistries.
Studying patient blood flow patterns could help determine who’s at risk of dangerous side effects from left ventricular assist devices and lead to improvements that could make them safer, new research suggests.
