Science & Technology
- A team from CU Boulder collected dozens of samples from across southeastern Colorado, and their results could help to answer an enduring mystery: What made Colorado's High Plains so high?
- CU Boulder researcher Steve Miller argues for deeper insight into how people understand risk before shocks, especially those related to climate change, happen in global systems.
- The Science of Science and Computational Â鶹ÊÓƵy lab seeks to unravel the complexities and imperfections of scientific discovery through the power of artificial intelligence.
- A new book from Assistant Professor Nathan Schneider argues that attempts to impose democracy on the internet have failed for cultural and technical reasons. But what if we used it as a tool to solve these problems?
- LongPath is harnessing quantum technology to detect methane emissions from oil and gas operations, innovation that benefits industry and investors—and the planet.
- Gov. Jared Polis unveiled plans to invest $74 million in Colorado’s quantum ecosystem. The new refundable tax credit program aims to maximize the state’s competitiveness as a tech hub—including CU Boulder, already a global leader in quantum research and innovation—to win an additional $70 million in federal funding.
- A statewide coalition of higher education and industry partners has outlined a detailed vision for Colorado to translate its legacy as a national leader in quantum information science and technology into workforce development and educational opportunities.
- Hundreds of scientists and journalists will flock to the Colorado Convention Center Feb. 15 to 17 to hear from the world’s leading scientists at the American association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting.
- An expert from the College of Media, Communication and Information notes that, in its ongoing conquest of legacy media studios, the tech industry has made use of a very old playbook.
- Researchers wrote new computer algorithms to redesign the interiors of padding down to the scale of a millimeter or less. The result: New kinds of cushions that can absorb as much as 25% more force than current state-of-the-art technologies.
