- Physicists have created an atomic clock that reaches the same level of precision as its predecessors but is more than 20 times faster, promising dramatically improved measurements and more.
- CU Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations is one of six winners of the prestigious, international WISE Award from the WISE Foundation.
- CU Boulder program helps underserved and underrepresented students in the STEM fields gain valuable research experience for graduate school.
- Our understanding of the universe may soon be changing thanks to the efforts of a thousand scientists from around the world, including two from the Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
- CU Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations is one of 15 finalists for the prestigious WISE Award, which recognizes innovative educational projects that address challenges and bring transformative societal change.
- By creating a sense of belonging for women in physics, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ is helping female students succeed, experts in the field say.  Â
- Kip Thorne, pioneer in gravitational waves, creative force behind ‘Interstellar,’ to give 51st Gamow lecture at CU Boulder April 27.
- Albert A. Bartlett, the iconic physics professor, helped preserve the city he called home, and now the city has moved to preserve his home. In November, the Boulder City Council designated the longtime home of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ professor as an historic landmark. The city’s move reflects the impact Bartlett had on both the university and Boulder.
- Loren Hough has won a New Investigator Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award from the National Institutes of Health to further vital research in the field of biophysics, specifically the behavior of tubulin, a protein involved in many life processes.
- CU Boulder will expand its role as a national leader in imaging, materials, nano, bio and energy sciences as part of a collaborative partnership awarded $24 million by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch a new center.
