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.

Contact lenses that can selectively deliver therapeutic drugs, a “spoof proof” smart car key, and carbon-storing concrete are among the recipients of 2021 Proof of Concept Awards from the Mines Office

Mines students Julia Harvey and Brett Yoder explain their innovative approach for recycling 3D printer filament.

After helping launch rockets for NASA and other aerospace organizations, Computer Science Professor of Practice Mark Baldwin transitioned to designing computer games including The Perfect General, Empire Deluxe and Trainz Railroad Simulator.

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.
