Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will cause urban and indoor levels of the gas to increase. This may significantly reduce our basic decision-making ability and complex strategic thinking, according to a new CU Boulder-led study.
CU Boulder is one of several funded teams in the Subterranean Challenge, a competition launched by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to stimulate and test ideas around autonomous robot use in difficult underground environments.
Postdoctoral Research Associate Kristine Fischenich tore her ACL three times as a young athlete. Now she works to characterize the soft tissues of the lower limbs to better understand injury and potential tissue-engineered replacements and therapies.
Sixteen undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Engineering and Applied Science have earned prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships from the National Science Foundation including mechanical engineering's Ellen Rumley.
Six NVC finalists, including Soulutions, a mechanical engineering senior design, left the event with at least $10,000 or more in their pockets. They were selected from a starting pool of 146 competitors, a record for the NVC.
The 2020 Research & Innovation Seed Grants, announced by the CU Boulder Office of the Provost and Research & Innovation Office (RIO), are funding 25 proposals for up to $50,000 each, including a new CU Boulder Grand Challenge project.
FieldLine Inc., a company that grew out of research conducted at CU Boulder, is building sensors to image the brain using magnetic fields. For the second consecutive year, capstone design students will help to advance FieldLine's innovative concepts.
Advisor: Christoph Keplinger Lab: Keplinger Research Group Research: My lab focuses on advancing the performance of a type of artificial muscle (soft actuator) called HASELs. HASELs (Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing ELectrostatic actuators) are liquid-filled plastic pouches that are partially sandwiched between soft electrodes. The plastic and liquid are both electrically insulating,...
In this Capstone Design Q&A, capstone design students sponsored by Tensentric share about the device they've designed to provide postural support for a community member with multiple sclerosis.
During February and March, over 250 mechanical engineering students trekked across the Front Range to tour one of 17 different companies. The tour series was a collaboration between Design Your Career and Instructor Janet Tsai’s manufacturing class.
