The Living Materials Laboratory is scaling up the manufacture of carbon-neutral cement as well as cement products, which can slowly pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it.
Qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers, are as fragile as snowflakes. Now, researchers have come up with a new way of reading out the information from certain kinds of qubits with a light touch, potentially paving the way for a quantum internet.
New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy.
The same visual trick, called 'structural color,' that makes peacock feathers green and butterfly wings blue gives these Colorado berries their brilliant hue, new research has found.
Among many interdisciplinary efforts, scientists are using the power and promise of remote sensing to help solve food supply, pollution and water scarcity problems around the globe.
Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano and her team are working on a wearable item for drag queens that could also help address common problems in wearable technology.
91ÊÓƵ scientists have successfully synthesized graphyne, which has been theorized for decades but never successfully produced.
91ÊÓƵ will lead a five-year, $10 million National Science Foundation-funded initiative to reimagine cyberinfrastructure user support services and delivery to keep pace with the evolving needs of academic scientific researchers.
The global shortage of semiconductors—the computer chips that products such as smartphones, laptops, cars and even washing machines rely on—are motivating engineers to improve the inspection of the silicon wafers from which semiconductors are fabricated. To help, students have built a silicon wafer center-finding improvement device.
The fossil skull of a Triceratops has sat on display on campus since 1981. Now, the specimen is heading back to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, where paleontologists will continue to study it to answer new questions about this fan-favorite dinosaur species.
