Along with seven other collaborating research universities, Mines will help cultivate deep technology businesses in the Western United States.

“We are excited and proud that Mines and our hometown of Golden will be the test bed for this new technology, which will lead to new developments in how it is improved and scaled up so that the environmental and human benefits can be extended well beyond Mines, Golden, and our state," Mines President Paul C. Johnson said.

A Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) system developed at Colorado School of Mines can help communities reuse water resources, as well as quickly restore local drinking water contaminated by fire and other disasters.

Researchers will develop a first-of-its-kind quantum simulator that could be used to develop novel materials and, in the future, lead to the development of a high-performance quantum computer.

“It's not just the ice sheet we're talking about,” said Matthew Siegfried, assistant professor of geophysics and lead author on the new study. “We're really talking about a water system that is connected to the whole Earth system.”

Copan, who officially joins Mines on July 6, is the former Under Secretary for Standards and Technology at the U.S. Department of Commerce and 16th Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Terri Hogue, professor of civil and environmental engineering and Dean of Energy and Society Programs, conducted field work with two graduate students in northern California this summer.

In findings published in the journal Materials Today, researchers from Colorado School of Mines, along with a team of international scientists, provided a multi-scale study of the origins of kinking in MAX phases.
