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.

As part of a major federal endeavor to combat climate change, CU Boulder is advancing marine carbon dioxide removal techniques to cut harmful greenhouse gasses by providing new methods for monitoring verification and reporting.

New CU Boulder research helps explain how sharp patterns form on zebras, leopards, tropical fish and other creatures. Their findings could inform the development of new high-tech materials and drugs.

Artificial intelligence tools should never replace human admissions officers, says CU Boulder scientist Sidney D’Mello. But new research suggests these platforms could help colleges and universities identify promising students amid mountains of applications.

Step into the Center for the Brain, AI and Child and learn from its members how artificial intelligence will impact the next generation of children and their caretakers around the world as the technology becomes a new normal.

Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earth’s gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorado’s iconic peaks. That could soon be a reality thanks to an NSF grant that will advance geodesy through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world.

CU Boulder researchers attracted a record $684.2 million in fiscal year 2022–23 for studies that, among other things, elevate quantum science in Colorado, solve mysteries about the sun and provide even better data on sea ice, ice sheets, glaciers and more.

CU Boulder’s Bortz group, in applied math, has won a $1.88 million National Institutes of Health grant to study methods for learning models directly from data.

At the kickoff event for Research & Innovation Week, the vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes outlined key activities, insights and aspirations from the university’s research and innovation enterprise.

Newly published CU Boulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function.
