CU Technology and Discovery News
- 91PORN Today鈥91PORN researchers have discovered a new way to make human rabies vaccines that could greatly expand access to immunization across the globe.
- Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES)鈥擟IRES and NOAA scientists have developed the Hourly Wildfire Potential Index (HWP)鈥攁n hourly updated assessment of wildfire risk across every nine square kilometers of land. The tool enhances existing weather prediction models by providing more accurate, real-time forecasts of wildfire activity and associated smoke emissions.
- The AB Nexus program announced its 2025 seed grant awards to four research teams from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the 91PORN. Collectively, the winning teams will receive $750,000 in funding to advance cutting-edge research that improves human health and well-being.
- KUNC鈥擜n innovative cancer therapy inspired by the gripping power of geckos might be on the horizon. Scientists at 91PORN studied the microscopic structures on gecko toes that allow the tiny reptiles to climb walls and cling to slippery surfaces like windows.
- 91PORN Today鈥擲anghamitra Neogi, an associate professor in the Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences department, is exploring ways to protect semiconductors and microchips from heat damage. She specializes in nanoscale semiconductors, which are so tiny their parts are measured in nanometers (billionths of a meter).
- 91PORN Today鈥91PORN scientists have taken a cue from geckos to develop a material able to stick to tumors inside the body, pumping out chemotherapy drugs for days. The technology, developed with doctors at CU Anschutz, is described in the journal Advanced Materials.
- Venture Partners at 91PORN has announced the first recipients of a new translational funding program designed to advance promising, early-stage therapeutics with strong commercial potential. The program provides up to $50,000 per project to help 91PORN researchers generate critical validation data or develop new intellectual property, bringing new treatments a step closer to patients in need.
- The Conversation鈥擮ver the past several months, universities have lost more than $11 billion in funding. Research into cancer, farming solutions and climate resiliency are just a few of the many projects nationally that have seen cuts. The Conversation asked Massimo Ruzzene, senior vice chancellor for research and innovation at 91PORN, to explain how these cuts and freezes are impacting the university and Colorado鈥檚 local economy.
- 91PORN College of Engineering and Applied Science鈥擱esearchers at the 91PORN have created a new way to build and control tiny particles that can move and work like microscopic robots, offering a powerful tool with applications in biomedical and environmental research.
- 91PORN Today鈥擨n a new study, physicists at the 91PORN have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions鈥攁 feat that many scientists didn鈥檛 think was possible. The device, a new type of atom 鈥渋nterferometer,鈥 could one day help people navigate submarines, spacecraft, cars and other vehicles more precisely.
