Dynamics of key viral attack strategy visible for first time
Researchers have developed imaging technology and computational analyses to visualize viral frameshifting at the level of single molecules in living cells.
Study: Improved worker safety linked to a good night’s sleep
The relationship between poor sleep quality and safety is tied to what the researchers call “workplace cognitive failures,” or lapses in attention, memory or action.
Chemists could make ‘smart glass’ smarter by manipulating it at the nanoscale
Researchers have devised a potentially major improvement to the tinting speed and durability of smart glass by providing a better understanding of how the glass works at the nanoscale.
Math class teaches a computer to channel J.S. Bach
The course was Industrial Mathematics, and the students were challenged to apply a mathematical theory to a practical problem: teaching a computer to compose music with specific style, rhythm and structure parameters.
Master’s programs in biological data analytics, microscope imaging to roll out this fall
The College of Natural Sciences is now accepting applications for the fall semester in the Professional Science Master’s Degree in Biological Data Analytics and the Professional Science Master’s Degree in Microscope Imaging Technology.
Outstanding Grad: Claire Goldstein, College of Natural Sciences
After graduation with her degree in computer science, Goldstein will be a summer intern at a startup in Old Town called Mountain Data Group, then travel to South America.
Public invited to ‘Viruses, Microbes and Your Health’ symposium in Boulder
The event will take place May 4 at the Boulder Public Library, in conjunction with the national March for Science.
The search for nothing at all
If discovered, neutrinoless double-beta decay would solve longstanding mysteries about the basic properties of neutrinos, which are among the most abundant but least understood particles in the universe.
Biologists share $1.83 million to explore why plant genomes duplicate
A $1.83 million grant from the National Science Foundation will help answer fundamental questions about genome doubling and its influence on the biology of crop plants.
