New research details impact of extreme wildfires on pine trees
Poor, smoke-induced air quality affects ponderosa pine trees’ ability to maintain photosynthesis and release natural chemical emissions.
CSU leads interdisciplinary research into antibacterial material for internal medical devices
Researchers at Colorado State University and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed an effective and flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body.
CSU students lead polymer research into more recyclable plastics
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a new class of recyclable polymers that could replace common single-use plastics with a large environmental footprint like grocery bags.
Research shows wildfire smoke may linger in homes long after initial blaze
The findings, published in Science Advances, show that wildfire smoke can attach to home surfaces like carpet, drapes or counters – extending the exposure for those inside and potentially causing health problems even after an initial cleaning activity by air purifiers. However, Professor Delphine Farmer said the research also shows that simple surface cleaning – like vacuuming, dusting or mopping – can reduce exposure and limit risk.
Colorado State chemistry researchers partner with Oxford to develop versatile arynes
Researchers at Colorado State University are part of a collaborative study with Oxford University that has developed an ultra-mild and functional-group tolerant method to produce arynes.
New CSU-led center will explore how light can be used to make more sustainable chemicals
The National Science Foundation has awarded a CSU-led team a three-year, $1.8 million grant to launch the Center for Sustainable Photoredox Catalysis, which will design chemical manufacturing processes harnessing light energy and utilizing readily-available materials as catalysts.
