Advancing science may make it possible to bring back extinct species like the dire wolf—but should it? A CU Boulder environmental studies and philosophy professor says the answer is complicated.
A team of computer scientists discovered that some AI large language models can solve sudoku puzzles, but even the best ones struggle to explain how they did it.
Anthony Straub is making revolutionary advances in water purification for life on Earth and in space with nanoscale membranes—thinner than 1/100th the width of a human hair.
Sanghamitra Neogi in CU Boulder’s aerospace engineering department will use $200,000 in grant funding to launch a startup in which she will offer software that uses quantum physics to model microchip designs.
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 CU 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 CU Boulder campus, marked an industry-wide step toward cutting emissions tied to building materials like steel and concrete.
In research recently published in Science, CU 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.
