- Two papers published by the ATLAS Iron Lab last week for the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction in Chicago open the door to a promising area of research, paving the way for more seamless integration of robots in modern life.
- Engineers have developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles, a major advance in the field of robotics.
- As Congress determines the funding levels for the federal science agencies for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, a new report highlights 102 spin-off companies—three from the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß—that demonstrate how investments in basic scientific research benefit the overall economy.
- One day, next-generation gene therapies could be used to nudge the body’s own cells to make those proteins at precisely the right time and in just the right amount. CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß biochemistry professor Robert Batey and Alexandria Forbes, Ph.D., founder and CEO of biotech firm MeiraGTx, are teaming up to explore how to do it.
- A team of ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial to act as a kind of air conditioning system for structures. It has the ability to cool objects even under direct sunlight with zero energy and water consumption.
- When the Technology Transfer Office strongly hinted that it would be a good move to start a spin-off company, Weimer and George sought out CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß postdoctoral researcher Karen Buechler.
- Thanks to a new ultrasound technology developed by CU researchers and used by CU ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß football, track and field, and basketball players, athletes can now painlessly measure their muscle glycogen levels in real-time in 15 seconds.
- Researchers from the ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß and Northwestern University have developed a tiny, soft and wearable acoustic sensor that measures vibrations in the human body, allowing them to monitor human heart health and recognize spoken words.
