<p>���� Assistant Professor Nikolaus Correll likes to think in multiples. If one robot can accomplish a singular task, think how much more could be accomplished if you had hundreds of them.</p>
<p class="p1">Correll and his computer science research team, including research associate Dustin Reishus and professional research assistant Nick Farrow, have developed a basic robotic building block, which he hopes to reproduce in large quantities to develop increasingly complex systems.</p>

<p>The ���� will hold its winter commencement ceremony on Friday, Dec. 21, in the Coors Events Center on campus.</p>
<p>The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. and is free and open to the public.</p>
<p>Due to traffic delays, and ongoing construction on U.S. 36 leading into Boulder, early arrival is strongly advised. Guests should plan to be seated by 9 a.m. People entering the events center are asked not to bring large purses or bags to the ceremony.</p>

<p>The perception of Congress as a gridlocked institution where little happens is overblown, according to new research by scholars at the ���� and the University of Washington.</p>
<p>And the way much of Congress’ work gets done is through self-manufactured crises like the “fiscal cliff,” say political science professors Scott Adler of CU-Boulder and John Wilkerson of UW.</p>

<p>The ���� today announced a new merit-based scholarship program to recognize top entering Colorado freshmen for outstanding academic achievement.</p>
<p>Under the CU-Boulder Esteemed Scholars Program, a select group of entering Colorado resident freshmen will receive scholarships ranging from a total of $10,000 to $20,000 over four years based on a combination of their high school grade-point average and test scores.</p>

<p>A ���� professor and her biomedical spinoff company Xalud Therapeutics Inc. of San Francisco are teaming up with a Front Range veterinarian to conduct a clinical study targeting an effective treatment for dogs suffering from chronic pain.</p>

<p>Gaping crevasses that penetrate upward from the bottom of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula make it more susceptible to collapse, according to ���� researchers who spent the last four Southern Hemisphere summers studying the massive floating sheet of ice that covers an area twice the size of Massachusetts.</p>

<p>A new partnership between the ��ñ����’s Leeds School of Business and the College of Engineering and Applied Science, spurred by a gift, will have positive implications for the construction and real estate industries.</p>

<p>More than 350 engineering students at the ���� will demonstrate their innovations and inventions to the community at the annual fall Engineering Design Expo on Saturday, Dec. 8.</p>

<p>A team led by the ���� has been awarded $9.2 million over five years from the U.S. Department of Energy to research modifying E. coli to produce biofuels such as gasoline.</p>
<p>“This is a fantastic opportunity to take what we have worked on for the past decade to the next level,” said team leader Ryan Gill, a fellow of CU-Boulder’s Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute, or RASEI. “In this project, we will develop technologies that are orders of magnitude beyond where we are currently.”</p>

<p>A jumping spider named Nefertiti that lived on the International Space Station in a habitat designed and built by a ���� team has returned to Earth after 100 days in space and found a new home at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C.</p>
