Bacteria and sand engineered into living concrete
17-Jan-2020
Cement and concrete haven't changed much as technology in over a hundred years, but researchers in Colorado are revolutionizing building materials by literally bringing them to life. The method developed, presented January 15 in the journal Matter, combines sand and bacteria to build a living ...
Scientists offer designer 'big atoms' on demand
03-Jun-2019
In the not-so-distant future, researchers may be able to build atoms to your specifications with the click of a button. It's still the stuff of science fiction, but a team at the University of Colorado Boulder reports that it is getting closer when it comes to controlling and assembling particles ...
Chemical synthesis breakthrough holds promise for future antibiotics
21-Dec-2018
University of Colorado Boulder chemistry researchers have developed a novel way to synthesize and optimize a naturally-occurring antibiotic compound that could one day be used to fight lethal drug-resistant infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA. Antibiotic-resistant ...
3-D quantum gas atomic clock offers new dimensions in measurement
09-Oct-2017
JILA physicists have created an entirely new design for an atomic clock, in which strontium atoms are packed into a tiny three-dimensional (3-D) cube at 1,000 times the density of previous one-dimensional (1-D) clocks. In doing so, they are the first to harness the ultra-controlled behavior of a ...
Light-activated nanoparticles can supercharge current antibiotics
06-Oct-2017
Light-activated nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots, can provide a crucial boost in effectiveness for antibiotic treatments used to combat drug-resistant superbugs such as E. coli and Salmonella, new University of Colorado Boulder research shows. Multi-drug resistant pathogens, which evolve ...
A thoroughly modern magnesium process
07-Aug-2017
University of Colorado Boulder engineers have revamped a World War II-era process for making magnesium that requires half the energy and produces a fraction of the pollution compared to today's leading methods. The breakthrough process, developed in the labs of Professor Alan Weimer, could vastly ...
Engineers transform brewery wastewater into energy storage
11-Oct-2016
University of Colorado Boulder engineers have developed an innovative bio-manufacturing process that uses a biological organism cultivated in brewery wastewater to create the carbon-based materials needed to make energy storage cells. This unique pairing of breweries and batteries could set up a ...
Ultrafast microscope used to make slow-motion electron movie
19-Feb-2016
University of Colorado Boulder researchers have demonstrated the use of the world's first ultrafast optical microscope, allowing them to probe and visualize matter at the atomic level with mind-bending speed. The ultrafast optical microscope assembled by the research team is 1,000 times more ...
It's a beauty: JILA's quantum crystal is now more valuable
09-Nov-2015
Physicists at JILA have made their "quantum crystal" of ultracold molecules more valuable than ever by packing about five times more molecules into it. The denser crystal will help scientists unlock the secrets of magnets and other, more exotic materials. The crystal is actually a gas of ...
Getting better all the time: JILA strontium atomic clock sets new records
23-Apr-2015
In another advance at the far frontiers of timekeeping by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers, the latest modification of a record-setting strontium atomic clock has achieved precision and stability levels that now mean the clock would neither gain nor lose one ...
