Masking and social distancing until a vaccine could be developed prevented roughly 800,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S., according to CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó research.
In the late ‘90s, Tania Barham, who is now an associate professor of economics at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, was in Yemen working as an economist for the World Bank, which had teamed up with UNICEF to improve that country’s health, education and water.
In a huge win for osteoarthritis sufferers and multidisciplinary collaborations, a CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó-led team of scientists was awarded up to $39 million from the Advanced 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop new therapies to treat the painful, degenerative disease affecting 32 million Americans.
In an age where environmental threats loom large, a CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó entomologist is pioneering an effort to save one of nature’s most crucial pollinators—the honey bee.
This year, the 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó & Innovation Office, along with the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Education, launched the New Frontiers Grant Program to cultivate new, interdisciplinary research strengths for CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó.
CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó is providing leadership to a key working group under the National Artificial Intelligence 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Resource (NAIRR) pilot project launched in January. NAIRR is a joint federal agency effort that bridges the gap for researchers lacking access to artificial intelligence (AI) resources, to drive innovation and address societal challenges.
The future of imaging extremely small objects may come down to doughnut-shaped beams of light, according to a study from researchers at JILA and the Department of Physics.
CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, already an established leader in quantum science and technology, continues to blaze trails in research, education, commercialization and job creation, cementing the university as an international hub of excellence providing real-world impact.
In May 2024, the Committee on Space 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó (COSPAR) designated the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) a COSPAR Center of Excellence for Capacity Building in CubeSat Technologies.
The ISM has fascinated scientists for decades, as at least 200 unique molecules form in its cold, low-pressure environment. It’s a subject that ties together the fields of chemistry, physics and astronomy, as scientists work to determine what types of chemical reactions happen there.
