Science & Technology

A new advancement in theoretical physics could, one day, help engineers develop new kinds of computer chips that might store information for long periods of time in very small objects.

Professor Jun Ye’s team, in collaboration with JILA and NIST Fellow James Thompson, has used a specific process known as spin squeezing to generate quantum entanglement, resulting in an enhancement in clock performance.

Generative artificial intelligence tools and copyright law are intersecting in the 1928 “Steamboat Willie” cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse. Associate Professor Casey Fiesler, an expert in tech ethics, says it’s just the start.

In an exciting turn for physics research, four major foundations have announced a collaborative funding effort for 11 pioneering experiments. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Simons Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the John Templeton Foundation have come together, committing a total of $30 million.

CU Boulder and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have signed a master research agreement, broadening a partnership between the two institutions and opening new collaboration pathways.

Graduate student Summer Haag and junior Clyde Kertzer made major news in the math world while working on a summer research project.

A new laser-based technique can create images of structures too tiny to view with traditional microscopes, and without damaging them. The approach could help scientists inspect nanoelectronics, including the semiconductors in computer chips.

Reported in a new Science Advances paper, a JILA team and co-collaborators probed the spin dynamics within a special material known as a Heusler compound: a mixture of metals that behaves like a single magnetic material.

CU Boulder faculty and students are advancing award-winning research on autonomous robots that can navigate challenging conditions.

In studying dinosaur discards, CU Boulder scientist Karen Chin has gained expertise recently honored with the Bromery Award and detailed in a new children’s book.
