CSU lasers likely to be key to fusion power future
The quest for abundant, carbon-free energy will likely get a big boost by Colorado State University, home to advanced laser technology and a key partner in a national research consortium to advance nuclear fusion energy.
Water in, clean energy and water out: DOE funds renewable hydrogen fuel research
Using sunlight to split water, or H2O, into hydrogen and oxygen represents what Justin Sambur, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University, calls “a holy grail in energy science.”
Can virtual reality play a role in veterinary education? CSU researchers think so
VetVR is a multidisciplinary initiative aimed at developing and testing virtual educational tools for veterinary medicine.
Why do salamanders have junk DNA? CSU’s Rachel Mueller wants to know
Rachel Mueller, a professor in the Department of Biology at CSU, studies salamanders and their cellular makeup. She’s found an interesting quirk in these species’ evolutionary histories – they’re full of “junk” DNA.
CSU study finds disease-carrying tick populations expanding into Colorado
The study, funded by Bay Area Lyme Foundation, showed that American dog ticks are present in 16 counties in Colorado where they were not previously identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
CSU biochemists, cancer biologists find key vulnerability in rare brain tumors
Proteins that regulate mitosis can play essential roles in determining whether cancer cells proliferate or die.
Emeritus professor elected Fellow of the American Society for Cell Biology
James Bamburg was elected Fellow of the American Society for Cell Biology, but his legacy doesn't end with just his research.
Indoor air quality experiments show exposure risks while cooking, cleaning
When you’re cooking or cleaning inside your home, what chemicals are you breathing, and are they potentially harmful? CSU chemists have given us a solid start on the answer.
Biologists unveil clues to evolutionary origins of brown-colored algae for health, biofuels research
Brown algae are brown because they have evolved a special set of pigments that absorb even more light for photosynthesis than green plants and green algae do.
