Materials & Manufacturing


Mike McGuirk, assistant professor of chemistry, has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for research that could contribute to the discovery of new materials for solar energy production, low density conductors and more.
Ivar Reimanis is the new head of the George S. Ansell Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines.
Deborah McGott, PhD in Materials Science, is the winner of the Fall 2021 Dr. Bhakta Rath and Sushama Rath Research Award. The honor, which recognizes the Colorado School of Mines doctoral graduate
Gabriela Blanchard, a chemical engineering major, and Mason Weems, a metallurgical and materials engineering major, will each receive a scholarship from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF), as well as mentorship and professional development opportunities throughout the year.
A new $15 million interdisciplinary research institute led by Colorado School of Mines aims to create new theoretically grounded and experimentally validated approaches and tools to design and discover dynamical materials and structures while solving long-standing scientific challenges in the dynamical response of materials.
“Quantum technologies are poised to revolutionize how we compute, communicate and sense and this requires engineers that have an interdisciplinary education,” Mines' Peter Aaen said.
Why did you choose to come to Mines? What have you enjoyed most about being here? I chose to go to Mines because of the caliber of the university, the new advanced manufacturing program and the
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.
Mines students Julia Harvey and Brett Yoder explain their innovative approach for recycling 3D printer filament.
Together with colleagues at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory, the Mines researchers hope to identify an economically viable process window for increasing steel product copper tolerances.
