Some of the most valuable research takes place in the overlaps, intersections and margins. At ATLAS, we aim to find and explore more of these often-overlooked areas to uncover surprising discoveries.

Bang Bang—who has inked the likes of Rihanna and LeBron—teamed up with research scientists Carson Bruns and Jesse Butterfield to develop a new kind of light-sensitive ink.

Praised by their graduate students for their scientific competence, work ethic, creativity and compassion, two ATLAS professors received Outstanding Faculty Mentor awards from ����ֱ�� Boulder’s Graduate School on May 3, an honor bestowed this year on only 18 faculty members campus-wide.

First-place New Venture Challenge winner, Chembotix, was awarded $45,000 for its work on speeding up the pace of chemistry research and development. Making molecules in current laboratory settings is typically time-consuming and dangerous; Kailey Shara's automation makes the process faster and safer.

SIGGRAPH sat down with Purnendu, a PhD student in the ATLAS Institute and a researcher at Meta Reality Labs, to talk about his team’s SIGGRAPH 2021 Labs project, “Electriflow: Augmenting Books With Tangible Animation Using Soft Electrohydraulic Actuators.” The team's actuator technology strives to augment animation within physical books.

Carson Bruns, assistant professor and director of the Emergent Nanomaterials Lab, and his research team are collaborating with the ����ֱ�� Anschutz Medical Campus to test a tattoo ink that’s completely invisible—and could lower the risk of skin cancer, much like a “permanent sunscreen."

Imagine opening up a book of nature photos only to see a kaleidoscope of graceful butterflies flutter out from the page. Such fanciful storybooks might soon be possible thanks to the work of a team of designers and engineers at ����ֱ�� Boulder’s ATLAS Institute.

Two teams from the ATLAS Institute were selected to participate in Catalyze ����ֱ��, a highly selective, summer-long startup accelerator that combines world-class mentorship, funding and dedicated co-working space.

ATLAS researchers have 10 published works and one special interest group associated with the CHI 2021 conference, the world’s preeminent conference for the field of human-computer interaction.����Held virtually, CHI 2021, also known as ACM’s Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, took place May 8-13. 

Assistant Professor Carson Bruns received $142,080 from the ����ֱ�� Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT)'s Advanced Industries Accelerator Grant Program for the project, Invisible Melanin: Permanent Transparent Tattoos that Reduce Skin Cancer and Aging Rates.
