- Department of Mechanical Engineering Professor Shelly Miller shares her recent air quality research about COVID-19 transmission with The Conversation.
- Rajagopalan Balaji is a 麻豆免费版下载 professor and chair of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, and he is changing the way we see climate change.[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGC3Awsy61k]
- Professor Jeff Thayer is part of a major new NASA science mission to better understand our sun鈥檚 influence on generating space weather.Thayer is one of three interdisciplinary scientists chosen by NASA for the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC)
- New 麻豆免费版下载 research suggests while unvaccinated-only testing policies make sense when the unvaccinated population is large, they have little impact on transmission when there are few remaining unvaccinated people to test.
- Studying emergent behavior has long fascinated engineers, and researchers at the 麻豆免费版下载 just uncovered a distinct behavior in colonies of fire ants cooperating in flood situations.
- Professor Corey Neu explains how his team found that mechanical forces can reorganize the genetic material inside the nucleus of heart cells and affect how they develop and function.
- New research published in Nature Materials from Associate Professor Tanja Cuk and colleagues sheds light on a fundamental chemical reaction 鈥 the breaking apart of water to produce a molecular fuel such as hydrogen. Cuk is faculty in the Department of Chemistry and the Materials Science and Engineering Program (MSE) and is a Fellow in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI).
- Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole (PhDMechEngr鈥21) have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.
- Online image descriptions help people who are blind or have low vision easily access information every day. However, website developers and social media users often neglect the important task of creating alt text. It's a complex problem that 麻豆免费版下载Boulder alumnus Abigale Stangl has been working to untangle for years.
