The Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Weimer Lab has introduced an efficient and economical method to use renewable energy to produce fuel, opening doors to clean and sustainable energy sources for a wide array of industries, including transportation, steelmaking and ammonia production.

Sanghamitra Neogi has earned a key Department of Defense contract to tackle a big problem with tiny electronics: microchips crippled by heat. An assistant professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, Neogi is leading a multi-university research team to...

Designed to catalyze new areas of research, scholarship and creative work, the Seed Grant Program awards nearly $1 million annually to Boulder faculty across all disciplines. This event will be held at noon on Nov. 8 via Zoom.

The Research and Innovation Office at CU Boulder will host Sandia Day 2023 on Sept. 15 in the Aerospace Engineering Sciences Building on East Campus. The now annual event will offer a chance for students and postdocs to learn about career opportunities at the laboratory while also celebrating shared research activity between the two institutions across campus.

Lattice Scholars aims to expand access to a CU Boulder engineering education to all first-generation Colorado students who are Pell-eligible and face financial or other barriers that might hinder a promising engineering career. Lattice scholarships will close the total cost-of-attendance gap for these students across four full years of study—an estimated value that could range up to $64,000 over the course of four years.

In a new study published in Nature Materials, the Hayward Research Group has developed a novel and resilient photomechanical material that can transform light energy into mechanical work without heat or electricity. The photomechanical materials offer a promising alternative to electrically-wired actuators, with the potential to wirelessly control or power robots or vehicles, such as powering a drone with a laser beam instead of a bulky on-board battery.

The CU SPUR program hosted its first cohort of community college students as part of the broader Denver-Metro Engineering Consortium consisting of local community colleges, four-year institutions and industry partners seeking to increase the number of engineering professionals.

Professor Martha Palmer, ACL Lifetime Achievement Award winner, shares her 50-year journey through the field of natural language understanding, her current research and her thoughts on new generative AI tools.

The CU Boulder chapter of Society of Women Engineers (SWE) saw growing engagement from the past academic year and opening many professional opportunities for its student members. We sat down with their society former and incoming president to get a glimpse of their journey with SWE and where they hope to land in the future.

The Colorado Shared Instrumentation in Nanofabrication and Characterization Facility is now accepting applications for materials characterization projects through July 31, 2024. This program aims to encourage new and innovative projects focusing on either the Low Energy Ion Scattering Spectrometer, or the Atomic Force Microscope.
