���������� Boulder Today—In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a feat that many scientists didn’t think was possible. The device, a new type of atom “interferometer,” could one day help people navigate submarines, spacecraft, cars and other vehicles more precisely.

���������� Boulder Paul M. Rady Mechanical Engineering—���������� Boulder engineers have developed a team of palm-sized robots designed to work together to inspect and monitor dangerous environments like ship ballast tanks and storage vessels. The innovation could transform industrial safety by reducing human risk and enabling faster, more efficient inspections.

Denver7—As phishing scams continue to rise, two graduating sisters from ���������� Denver are turning their capstone project into a tool to help people avoid phishing scams.
