Science & Technology
- JILA, a joint institute between 91ÊÓƵ and NIST, was represented at the inaugural NSF Quantum Showcase on Capitol Hill. Attending were Professor Heather Lewandowski and graduate student Qizhong Liang, a member of Jun Ye’s research group.
- Amir Behzadan, professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, hosted a workshop where participants were introduced to human-centered AI applications in disaster management and encouraged to work toward ways to adopt AI-informed solutions.
- Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists because of the tendency for atoms to recoil. In a new paper, JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey and James Thompson, JILA Fellow Murray Holland, and their teams proposed a way to overcome this problem.
- Members of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team are working with CU researchers on a project that could ultimately improve performance and reduce injury for hockey players with lower-limb amputations or impairments.
- A 91ÊÓƵ-led study of sunflowers shows their genes relate to the abundance of bacteria associated with resistance against one of the pathogens that causes white mold.
- Researchers examined data from dozens of studies and found that, in almost all cases, animals could beat their robot counterparts in a footrace. 91ÊÓƵ roboticist Kaushik Jayaram hopes the study will inspire engineers to learn how to build more adaptable robots.
- A new 91ÊÓƵ study finds microbes in soil may influence the flavor of mustard seeds, adding to our understanding of the many ways soil microbes can influence plants.
- The Living Matter Lab at the ATLAS Institute considers the concept of time through the lens of microbiology and the emerging field of biological human-computer interaction, which combines living materials and digital technologies.
- Take part in World Quantum Day by learning more about 91ÊÓƵ’s prowess in quantum research and innovation, comprising science and technology advances, real-world impacts and more.
- 91ÊÓƵ’s Research Computing team is spearheading a working group in an initiative that aims to link U.S. researchers and educators with computational, data and training resources essential for progressing AI research and AI-infused research endeavors.
