- Daniel Szafir's work may pave the way for fleets of automated assistants that will one day help people carry out a range of tasks—from fighting wildfires to building craft projects in the home.
- Researchers have uncovered the statistical rules that govern how gigantic colonies of fire ants form bridges, ladders and floating rafts.
- ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures.
- A new 3D printing technique allows for localized control of an object's firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.
- A square peg in a round hole? No problem. New material developed by ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder engineers can transform into complex, pre-programmed shapes via light and temperature stimuli, and back again.
- Physicists have developed an insulating gel that they say could coat the windows of habitats in space, allowing the settlers inside to trap and store energy from the sun.
- Researchers at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder are exploring how wearable technologies can help people to experience nature as they hunt for fungi.
