The challenge with some vaccines, like the rabies shot, is that they need to be kept refrigerated or frozen. But CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó scientists have discovered a way to keep these types of shots viable at warmer temps, easing some of the difficulties for international regions that lack electricity or specialized cold storage equipment.
CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó doctoral student Liam Jasperse-Sjolander is helping elephant behavioral observation get off the ground—and into the air above Africa.
A new study shows how fireflies speed up or slow down their flashing to sync up with other insects, creating a beautiful and other-wordly light show.
A new kind of laser could pave the way for practical nuclear clocks—devices that measure time with incredible precision by measuring the "ticking" of thorium atoms.
Glaciers are constantly changing and reshaping the Earth's surface. CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó researchers have developed a new machine-learning tool to better understand how Arctic glaciers suddenly surge.
Doctoral student William Frantz is developing microscopic droplets designed to help doctors track radiation therapy in real time. His pitch at the Lab Venture Challenge highlighted how the technology could make cancer treatment more precise and less harmful, particularly for pediatric patients.
As tech advancements speed up, how can we best incorporate AI tools at school and work? Get Nikolaus Klassen's take. He's a business analyst at Google, who teaches Applied AI Ethics at the ATLAS Institute.
CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó researchers have built high-performing optical micro-resonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. In the future, the technology could be used for compact micro-lasers, advanced chemical and biological sensors and even tools for quantum metrology and networking.
91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó co-authored by Megan Zabinski and M. Deane Bowers reveals how museum butterfly specimens, some almost a century old, can still offer insight into chemical defense of insects and plants.
A former NASA engineer and retired aerospace engineering professor reflects on lessons learned from the space shuttle tragedy.
