Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a potent tool against the disease.

From testing atomic clocks at 14,000 feet to developing robotic jellyfish to survey the ocean, CU Boulder researchers continued to shed light on the world around us in 2025. They also developed new ways to heal wounds, track where our food comes from and communicate with the dead. Check out a little bit of what they learned this year.

Newswise — In a windowless, warehouse-sized lab on campus, a team of CU Boulder researchers huddle around two wind tunnels—long metal tubes that blow air currents at controlled speeds.

Researchers at CU Boulder have created tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change their shape and self-propel, much like living things, in response to electrical fields.

Doctors at CU Anschutz are tackling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with state-of-the-art treatments while also exploring new options.

Rheumatologists are in high demand and short supply. Two CU Anschutz clinicians are trying unconventional methods for making rheumatology care more accessible to more people.

Hospitalist Anusha Raja and others developed a streamlined testing process for pulmonary TB that could cut patients’ time spent waiting in isolation.

CU Anschutz researchers are using RefinedScience’s multi-omics platform and ability to combine tissue samples with clinical data to accelerate research.

Lawrence Haber, MD, believes AI could help expand access to health care — and improve the overall quality of care — for people in correctional facilities.

A new study led by CU Anschutz School of Medicine researchers suggests non-typhoidal Salmonella may use an ancient metabolic pathway to colonize the gut.
