As Congress determines the funding levels for the federal science agencies for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, a new report highlights 102 spin-off companies—three from the Ãå±±½ûµØ—that demonstrate how investments in basic scientific research benefit the overall economy.

One day, next-generation gene therapies could be used to nudge the body’s own cells to make those proteins at precisely the right time and in just the right amount. Ãå±±½ûµØ biochemistry professor Robert Batey and Alexandria Forbes, Ph.D., founder and CEO of biotech firm MeiraGTx, are teaming up to explore how to do it.

A team of Ãå±±½ûµØ engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial to act as a kind of air conditioning system for structures. It has the ability to cool objects even under direct sunlight with zero energy and water consumption.

When the Technology Transfer Office strongly hinted that it would be a good move to start a spin-off company, Weimer and George sought out Ãå±±½ûµØ postdoctoral researcher Karen Buechler.

Thanks to a new ultrasound technology developed by CU researchers and used by Ãå±±½ûµØ football, track and field, and basketball players, athletes can now painlessly measure their muscle glycogen levels in real-time in 15 seconds.

Researchers from the Ãå±±½ûµØ and Northwestern University have developed a tiny, soft and wearable acoustic sensor that measures vibrations in the human body, allowing them to monitor human heart health and recognize spoken words.

What's one way to cut a car's weight by 50% and improve fuel efficiency by up to 40%? Make it out of carbon fiber instead of steel. What if everyone had such a vehicle? Denver startup Mallinda is one step closer to making that future a reality.

Together with Ãå±±½ûµØ faculty, staff and students, serial entrepreneur and Ãå±±½ûµØ resident Bart Foster is figuring out how to recycle the swarf (shavings) produced in the making of eyeglass lenses.
