Who would win in a foot race between a robot and an animal? In a new perspective article, a team of engineers from the United States and Canada, including CU Boulder roboticist Kaushik Jayaram, set out to answer that riddle.

The National Science Foundation has bestowed two prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards to University of Colorado Boulder mechanical engineering graduate students. The national awards recognize and support outstanding grad students from across the country in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral...

The CU Boulder Wind Team was selected as one of 12 winning universities for Phase Two of the 2024 U.S. Department of Energy Collegiate Wind Competition. They will present at the American Clean Power Association’s CLEANPOWER Conference and Exhibition on May 6-9 in Minneapolis.

A new paper in Science co-authored by mechanical engineer Shelly Miller lays out a blueprint for mandating indoor air quality standards for public buildings.

The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) student chapter won a travel grant through the Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering. After they traveled to Atlanta for the national conference, we caught up with them about their takeaways. What was the SASE conference like? Attending the SASE National Conference 2023...

After they traveled to Anaheim, California, for the national oSTEM conference, the DEI Working Group asked them about their experience: What was the oSTEM Conference like? It...

In recent research, engineers at the University of Colorado of Boulder and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new design for padding that can withstand big impacts. The team’s innovations, which can be printed on commercially available 3D printers, could one day wind up in everything from shipping crates to football pads—anything that helps to protect fragile objects, or bodies, from the bumps of life.

In a new study, engineers from the United States and Korea — including Jianliang Xiao of Rady Mechanical Engineering — have developed a wearable, stretchy patch that could help to bridge the divide between people and machines, with benefits for the health of humans around the world.
