Winter jackets may seem simple, but sophisticated engineering allows them to keep body heat locked in while staying breathable enough to let out sweat. Read from CU experts Longji Cui and Wan Xiong on The Conversation.

Physicists at CU ������ý���� have designed a new material for insulating windows that could improve the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide—and it works a bit like a high-tech version of Bubble Wrap.��The team’s material, called Mesoporous

Burn your hand on a hot stove and, almost instantly, immune cells within the wound begin producing inflammatory compounds to help clear out dead tissue and fight off infection. In most cases, the swelling abates quickly, and the wound heals within

Semiconductors—substances that can selectively conduct or block electricity—have been dubbed the “brains of modern electronics.” They form the building blocks of the chips that power electronic devices from laptops to smartphones and tablets to

Anthony Straub is making revolutionary advances in water purification for life on Earth and in space.Using nanoscale membranes—thinner than 1/100th the width of a human hair—Straub has developed a technology that could significantly improve

Materials researchers are getting a big boost from a new database created by a team of researchers led by Hendrik Heinz. The initiative, now available online to all researchers, is a database containing over 2,000 carbon nanotube stress-strain curves and failure properties.

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves.Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound waves, picture vibrations that carry heat.��

Assistant Professors��Kōnane Bay and��Ankur Gupta��from CU ������ý����’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering have been honored with the 2025 Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Program Award.Each

“This is probably the most radical conceptual advancement for airplanes since the replacement of propellers with jets.” – Mahmoud Hussein is not pulling punches about the potential impact of a major aerospace materials research project.
