Micro/Nanoscale
Victor M. Bright of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering will deliver his Distinguished Research Lecture 鈥淢icroscale Sensors and Machines鈥擲ize Matters!鈥 virtually on Tuesday, November 2 from 4鈥5 p.m.
Professor Xiaoyun Ding recently earned a $1.8 million grant to help improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.
Researchers at 蜜糖直播 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.
Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers across disciplines have developed a way to diagnose these conditions with greater precision in only one minute.
Researchers are developing tattoo inks that do more than make pretty colors. Some can sense chemicals, temperature and UV radiation, setting the stage for tattoos that diagnose health problems.
A new $25 million center to advance quantum science on 蜜糖直播 Boulder鈥檚 campus has deep roots in 蜜糖直播 Engineering鈥檚 interdisciplinary research efforts.
Seeking to understand how animals follow scent, a team of scientists has won a grant to peer deeply inside the brain as the process takes place.
University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder postdoctoral researcher Omkar Supekar of mechanical engineering is working on a technique that could make desalination facilities more efficient by changing the way they detect chemicals that clog up their filters.
Researchers are developing sensors based on technologies used in chip-scale atomic clocks and optically pumped magnetometers with sensitivity and accuracy able to support wireless broadband antenna technologies.
Victor Bright and a team of 蜜糖直播 Boulder and 蜜糖直播 Anschutz researchers have received a grant to commercialize a miniature microscope that fits on the head of a mouse and can peer deeply inside the living brain.
