ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder is a partner of the CO-WY Engine, one of 16 finalists for NSF's inaugural Regional Innovation Engines competition, which could net winners $160M over 10 years. NSF Engines funds regional hubs that will increase the speed and scale of emerging, critical and use-inspired technology.

The Principal Investigator (PI) Academy is designed to orient new and early career faculty to research and creative work resources available on campus. A virtual kickoff will welcome new and returning faculty on August 25th, 10–11 a.m.

Venture Partners at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder has officially launched its first Embark Entrepreneurs in Residence cohort. Embark aims to connect business minds outside the university with breakthrough inventions emerging from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder's research labs to bring them to market.

Mija Hubler and her team of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder researchers and partners are developing technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. If successful, the project will not only prevent new damage, but also reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of infrastructure.

Imagine an iPad that’s more than just an iPad—with a surface that can morph and deform, allowing you to draw 3D designs, create haiku that jump out from the screen and even hold your partner’s hand from an ocean away. That’s the vision of a team of engineers from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder.

A new laboratory for a plasma wind tunnel is taking shape at the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building. The project, the vision of Assistant Professor Hisham Ali, will allow his team to study the conditions of atmospheric reentry, when a spacecraft returning to Earth can hit speeds of Mach 30.

Drs. Allison Kanner-Botan (Religious Studies) and Isaac Javier Rivera (Geography) join 13 other prior Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship for Faculty Diversity recipients. Applications for the next cycle open Aug. 1 and are due Nov. 1.

A new program is helping Native American undergraduate students delve into astrophysics and more fully participate in scientific research that frequently happens on Indigenous lands. The NSF-supported program is a partnership between ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder and Fort Lewis College in Durango, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.

Research Professor Svenja Knappe, who is a physicist by training but calls the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering home, is an ideal person to be at the center of a growing cluster of quantum researchers who are ushering in the second quantum revolution on campus and abroad.

ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s Mountain Research Station has a three-pronged mission: host some of the most influential and long-running ecological research in the world, give students a peerless education in mountain environments, and link the public to learning about important ecosystems.
