Mines student and faculty researchers are collaborating with industry partner Lunar Outpost to compete in NASA's Break the Ice Challenge for the chance to win $1.5 million in prizes to further develop an ice-digging lunar rover.
C. Michael McGuirk, assistant professor of chemistry, will conduct research on atomic-level studies of flexible sponge-like structures used in separations
At Mines, researchers are developing control systems that expand the scope of renewable and hybrid energy technologies, including fuel cells and wind turbines.
By Ashley Spurgeon, Special to Mines Research Magazine Electrolysis plays a significant role in sourcing hydrogen for use in fuel cells and other energy technologies. But the ceramic materials used in
By Jasmine Leonas, Special to Mines Research Magazine Fusion, the process that powers the sun and the stars, has long been a part of the conversation about low-carbon sources of electricity. Unlike
Neal Sullivan, director of the Colorado Fuel Cell Center, explains the process that turns intermittent wind and solar energy into carbon-free green hydrogen
At Mines, teams of researchers are working on the hydrogen problem — from developing electrolyzers to separate hydrogen from other energy sources to developing and testing the ceramic materials in fuel cells and making them commercially viable and cost-effective.
Fueled by Mines’ materials science program, the goal of the Institute for Data-Driven Dynamical Design (ID4) is to harness the power of advanced computation and artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery in material science
As part of the immersive, hands-on learning experience, QBE students traveled up to the Edgar Experimental Mine in Idaho Springs to take samples of the microbes living on the underground rock walls.
