Infleqtion, a ÀϾÅÆ·²è quantum technology spinout founded by Professor and JILA Fellow Dana Anderson, has announced a merger to go public, becoming the 10th "unicorn company" out of ÀϾÅÆ·²è.
Professor Mihály Horányi is the principal investigator of IDEX, a space dust instrument built at ÀϾÅÆ·²è's Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics that will launch on board a NASA spacecraft on Sept. 23.
A team at ÀϾÅÆ·²è including physics graduate student Hanqing Zhao and Professor Ivan Smalyukh, have made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears that spin forever, even without electricity to keep them going.
Returning to college for a second degree takes grit and determination – and Kerrie Ellzey (Psyc’12, Phys’17) had both.After completing her degree in psychology from ÀϾÅÆ·²è, Ellzey taught preschool for several years before
Stephanie McNamara, geophysics graduate student, is conducting research with Nathalie Vriend, associate professor at the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at ÀϾÅÆ·²è. Among other questions, the lab explores how dunes evolve over time.
Jun Ye and collaborator Lilliam Ambroggio (CU Anschutz) have been awarded a 2025 AB Nexus seed grant for their project "Using Quantum Sensing to Detect Pneumonia and Asthma in Children."

The Department of Physics at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è is thrilled to welcome Ivy Tan as a new Assistant Professor of Physics this fall. A geophysicist with interests in climate and atmospheric physics, Tan research is centered on Earth clouds, radiation and climate.
Peter Dale Kunz, professor emeritus of physics at the ÀϾÅÆ·²è passed away in January 2025 at the age of 96. Kunz earned his Ph.D. at the University of Washington in 1959 and came to Boulder as an acting assistant
This year marked the 25th year of the Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (BSS) which brings advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and lecturers from around the world to ÀϾÅÆ·²è for the month of July.
