Emerging Innovations
This technology, developed by Associate Professor Jianliang Xiao and Professor Wei Zhang, is may one day lead to improvements in human health, robotics, prosthetics and beyond.
This development shows a path towards a portable, wearable thermometer that can continuously measure for sub-surface body temperature with a resolution of a fraction of a degree Kelvin.
Researchers at the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder and Emory University have developed a stretched exponential model that can more accurately detect subtle compositional changes leading to early soft tissue degeneration detection.
The technology could be applied to fast diagnosis in hospitals or point of care applications for many infectious diseases including the diagnosis of COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Based in clinically important measures indicative of future morbidity and mortality risk, this technology—developed in the lab of Dr. Douglas Seals—predicts a person's biological age through a simple simple blood test.
Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder Assistant Professor Tam Vu and his team have developed a device called eBP to measure blood pressure from inside the user’s ear, aiming to minimize the measurement’s impact on users’ normal activities while maximizing its comfort level.
Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder inventors Rong Yang and Yu (Jade) Morton developed a technology that uses the multi-frequency signals for a GNSS receiver (such as GPS) to improve performance of multi-frequency receivers in environments where signals on one or more frequency band experiences amplitude fading or phase fluctuation.
Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder researchers in Dr. Marvin Caruthers' lab have synthesized a novel DNA analogue using modified phosphoramidite chemistry.
A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.
Researchers James Cypser and Thomas E. Johnson from Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder's Institute for Behavioral Genetics have identified compounds that protect organs and tissues from cold damage.
