A former NASA engineer and retired aerospace engineering professor reflects on lessons learned from the space shuttle tragedy.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder and two other Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØcampuses 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 Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder 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.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØresearchers have created shape-shifting microparticles that change their shape in response to environmental factors for self-directed propulsion and navigation.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder 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.
Researchers have developed a device that can precisely control laser light using a fraction of the power and space required today. This tiny device could unlock quantum computers capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of today's technologies.

Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder alumni Judy and Rod McKeever donated a tree—once considered extinct—to the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology greenhouse, giving students a living example of modern conservation.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØresearchers are using ultrasound with particles that respond to sound waves to soften tumors and make them easier to treat.
