Academics
- <p>Double Helix LLC of Boulder and the University of Colorado have completed an exclusive option agreement to allow Double Helix to develop a novel technique for 3D super-resolution imaging.</p>
- <p>The work of a talented group of ñ students and staff will be making it to the big screen this weekend. The really big screen -- in fact, a more than 20-meter dome.</p>
- <p>Long thought to produce only one generation of tree-killing offspring annually, some populations of mountain pine beetles now produce two generations per year, dramatically increasing the potential for the bugs to kill lodgepole and ponderosa pine trees, ñ researchers have found.</p>
- <p>Using the world’s fastest light source -- specialized X-ray lasers -- scientists at the ñ and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have revealed the secret inner life of magnets, a finding that could lead to faster and “smarter” computers.</p>
- <p>If you despise math and the sight of an equation makes you physically ill, Professor Edward Burger of Baylor University and Williams College may be able to heal you during a talk at the ñ on Thursday, March 15.</p>
- <p>Experts will focus on the growing influence of public radio and television media in the digital age at a ñ symposium, which is free and open to the public, March 13-14.</p>
<p>Journalism and Mass Communication at CU-Boulder is sponsoring “The Content and Context of Digital Culture.” The symposium will be held at various sites across campus and a complete schedule is available at <a href="http://icjmtsymposium.org/schedule">http://icjmtsymposium.org/schedule</a>.</p> - <p>The exhaust fumes from gasoline vehicles contribute more to the production of a specific type of air pollution -- secondary organic aerosols -- than those from diesel vehicles, according to a new study by scientists from the ñ’s Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES, NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory and other colleagues.</p>
- <p>Four ñ faculty members have been elected American Geophysical Union Fellows for 2012, the most from any institution in the world.</p>
- <p>The tragic school shooting that occurred Feb. 27 at a suburban Cleveland high school is another reminder that communities can and must take action to prevent school violence, according to Delbert Elliott, a nationally renowned authority on school safety and juvenile violence at the ñ.</p>
- <p>Propulsion by a novel jet engine is the crux of the innovation behind a ñ-developed aircraft that’s accelerating toward commercialization.</p>
<p>Jet engine technology can be small, fuel-efficient and cost-effective, at least with Assistant Professor Ryan Starkey’s design. The CU-Boulder aerospace engineer, with a team of students, has developed a first-of-its-kind supersonic unmanned aircraft vehicle, or UAV. The UAV, which is currently in a prototype state, is expected to fly farther and faster -- using less fuel -- than anything remotely similar to date.</p>
