Two ATLAS researchers received a seed grant to study how we might design sustainable interactions between machines and non-human organisms.
Weaving has been a central craft in global culture for thousands of yearsâso ubiquitous that it often feels invisible. Laura Devendorf, ATLAS Unstable Design Lab Director, Information Science faculty member, is changing this perception by proving
The first annual Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival (RMRRF) took place in Loveland, CO, and the ATLAS Utility Research Lab crew showed up in a big way. RepRap is a global movement focused on developing freely-available 3D printers that can produce
Biodesign researcher Fiona Bell says that anyone, anywhere can grow their own clothing right from their kitchens. You start by brewing a batch of kombucha.

Bruns lands prestigious NSF CAREER research award to usher in next generation of âsmart tattoosâAssistant Professor Carson Bruns has received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award for research that investigates how the art of tattooing can incorporate the latest advances in
Electronic musician, flutist and researcher Grace Leslie believes that music touches something deep in the human brainâa hardwired need, perhaps, to sit around a fire or in a concert arena and feel connected to the people around us. Humans have been making music for longer than weâve lived in cities and grown crops. âIn most cultures, itâs used to draw people together,â says Leslie.
Robots help build cars, fly planes, fight wars and provide healthcare; they play a role in countless industries, but for the most part, they don't work in chemistry labs. A team of CU Boulder scientists plans to change that.
Like many people across Colorado, Peter Gyory spent the height of the COVID-19 pandemic sitting at home with nothing to do. Then the ATLAS-based PhD candidate and game designer looked around his apartment: âI was surrounded by cardboard. I thought: âHow could I make a game out of that?ââ
Researchers from ATLAS Institute's Unstable Design, THING, Living Matter and Superhuman Computing labs presented four papers, including three that received âHonorable Mentionâ awards, at the ACM conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS '22).
