Science & Technology
- A group of seniors is designing a next-generation Argon Beam Coagulator during their senior capstone design course. The project is a pencil-shaped handheld device that ionizes argon gas to produce a plasma beam that emits from the tip of the device, allowing surgeons to cut tissue and minimize bleeding at the same time.
- As part of a capstone class, a group of seniors is working to increase access to life-saving therapies by developing an automated medical fluid aliquoting device that streamlines the fluid dosing process.
- A group of seniors in the Biomedical Engineering program is designing their own sensor that can monitor skin conductance during electrotherapy. The sensor was developed during the group's senior capstone design course and was showcased at the Engineering Expo on April 25.
- Carolus Vitalis, a doctoral student and National Science Foundation fellow who has co-authored several book chapters in synthetic biology, was one of the speakers at this year’s TEDxCU event. His talk discussed the pros and cons of artificial intelligence in the field of synthetic biology.
- A group of mechanical engineering seniors is working to keep bomb squads safe by designing an automated X-ray device used to help explosive ordnance disposal technicians scan for hazardous materials.
- ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï mycologist Alisha Quandt says there's little reason to fear a fungi-zombie apocalypse like the one imagined in the HBO hit TV series "The Last of Us."
- A team of ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï researchers has introduced a quantum sensing technique that could lead to improvements in how we monitor infrastructure, detect changes in the environment and conduct geophysical studies.
- Infleqtion’s star continues to rise as Colorado’s quantum hub grows. The company of firsts, spun out of ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï as ColdQuanta, seems to be everywhere these days, including outer space.
- Much attention on the "quantum revolution" has focused on the burgeoning industry, but a recent study by physics education researchers explores what students think about entering the quantum industry.
- A team of physicists from ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï teamed up with a group from the Colorado-based company Quantinuum to show how devices called quantum computers can outcompete traditional computers—at least, in some circumstances.
