- Frost quakes are not particularly rare, but they are harder to observe than traditional earthquakes.
- Researchers at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder are collaborating to develop a new kind of biocompatible actuator that contracts and relaxes in only one dimension, like muscles. Their research may one day enable soft machines to fully integrate with our bodies to deliver drugs, target tumors, or repair aging or dysfunctional tissue.
- An international team of researchers including Professor Michael Toney has developed a new technique for precisely tracking the movement of ions within batteries, a discovery that may have far-reaching impacts on how safe and efficient batteries are developed. They published their findings in Energy and Environmental Science in September.
- Researchers at the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder are developing a wearable electronic device that鈥檚 鈥渞eally wearable鈥濃攁 stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that鈥檚 inspired by, and sticks onto, human skin.
- The National Water Research Institute (NWRI) and the Joan Irvine Smith and Athalie R. Clarke Foundation presented the 2020 Clarke Prize to Professor Karl Linden. NWRI administers the prestigious $50,000 prize.
- Researchers at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder are leading four new NSF-funded projects that are exploring the safety and security of autonomous systems, including those used in self-driving vehicles.
- Allie Anderson (Assistant Professor, Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences), shares her experiences with microgravity while conducting experiments on a parabolic flight.
- Join this virtual session to meet the IRT directors, hear their plans and learn how you can participate. This virtual session is open to all faculty, staff and students. Registration is required.
- 欧美口爆视频 Engineering experienced another record-breaking year for research funding in 2020, receiving $134 million overall and dwarfing the 2019 total of $108 million.
- Professor Christine Hrenya is the recipient of the AIChE 2020 Shell Thomas Baron Award in Fluid-Particle Systems, an award that recognizes a researcher who has made a significant impact in the fluid particle systems field or related subjects.
