CU Denver engineer develops science-altering quantum tool
DENVER (KDVR) — An engineer at the University of Colorado Denver is developing a tool that can significantly help advance the future of science. According to a press release from the university, the tool being developed has the potential to spur advancements that could eradicate cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue and prove Stephen Hawking's multiverse theory by revealing the fabric underlying the universe. Butterfly Pavilion oversees historic firefly milestone Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Aakash Sahai, PhD, had his work featured as the cover story in 'Advanced Quantum Technologies,' one of the most prominent journals in quantum science, materials and technology. 'It is very exciting because this technology will open up whole new fields of study and have a direct impact on the world,' Sahai said in the press release. 'In the past, we've had technological breakthroughs that propelled us forward, such as the sub-atomic structure leading to lasers, computer chips, and LEDs. This innovation, which is also based on material science, is along the same lines.' Sahai has developed a way to create extreme electromagnetic fields that have never been seen in a laboratory. The fields are created when electrons in materials vibrate and bounce at rapid speeds, which can in turn power things from computer chips to super particle colliders that are searching for dark matter. Before this discovery, creating fields that are so strong required using facilities like the 16.7-mile-long Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland, which is very expensive to use and can be volatile. Sahai developed a silicon-based, chip-like material that can withstand high-energy particle beams, manage energy flow and allow scientists to access electromagnetic fields created by the oscillations of the quantum electron gas, according to CU Denver. The advancement could see the results achieved at a miles-long collider replicated into a chip about the size of a thumb. 'This breakthrough in technology can make a real change in the world. It is about understanding how nature works and using that knowledge to make a positive impact on the world,' said Kalyan Tirumalasetty, a graduate student in Sahai's lab working on the project. CU Denver has applied for and received provisional patents for the technology in the United States and internationally. 5 injured after gas fire in Johnstown The researchers said that real-world application remains years away, but they plan to basically live in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a facility operated by Stanford University and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, while they continue to develop the technology. 'Gamma ray lasers could become a reality,' Sahai said. 'We could get imaging of tissue down to not just the nucleus of cells but down to the nucleus of the underlying atoms. That means scientists and doctors would be able to see what's going on at the nuclear level, and that could accelerate our understanding of immense forces that dominate at such small scales while also leading to better medical treatments and cures. Eventually, we could develop gamma ray lasers to modify the nucleus and remove cancer cells at the nano level.' In the immediate future, the pair of researchers will refine the technology that has been in the works since 2018. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘It was chaos': 4 injured in Saturday night LoDo shooting
DENVER (KDVR) — Denver police are investigating a shooting that injured four people Saturday night in Lower Downtown, just blocks from Coors Field. The shooting happened near the intersection of 20th and Market streets, police said in a 12:22 a.m. post on X. Police originally said three people were injured, but later Sunday afternoon said they located a fourth victim. Police said three of the people injured suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and one person is in critical condition. FOX31 Newsletters: Sign up to get breaking news sent to your inbox FOX31's Kasia Kerridge was at the scene early Sunday morning and described a trashed scene with a lot of beer bottles where the shooting happened. A witness told Kerridge that hundreds of people were in the area when the shooting happened. 'I was ordering a hot dog, and next thing that I heard 'pop, pop,' like ten different shots, and I saw three people fall to the ground,' Patrick Dickman told Kerridge. 'It was chaos.' Police have not released any suspect information and said they have not arrested anyone. Police also did not say what led up to the shooting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Boulder to activate automated speed enforcement corridors within city limits
DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Boulder said it will be activating designated 'Automated Vehicle Identification Systems' corridors for automated speed enforcement on a rolling basis, starting late this year. The corridors will be within city limits, including parts of Broadway, Canyon Boulevard, Arapahoe Avenue, Foothills Parkway, 28th Street and Baseline Road, the city said Friday. CU Boulder eliminates single-use beverage plastics 'Automated speed enforcement goes hand in hand with roadway design, engineering and education toward safer streets where no one is killed or seriously injured in a crash,' said Interim Director of Transportation Valerie Watson, in a statement. In addition to the speeding corridors, the city said it will enable automated speed enforcement at an existing fixed camera at Valmont Road and 47th Street. The city said the AVIS corridors were selected based on data over the past five years related to incidents of crashes, speeding, reckless driving or community complaints of speeding on a street. 'Crash data and conversations with our community consistently raise red flags around speeding,' Watson said. 'We know from experience that speeding influences the injury severity of crashes when they occur.' Colorado State Patrol uses grappler to catch stolen vehicle in Thornton The city said the AVIS corridors will be activated on a rolling basis, with the dates posted on an online map, as they become available. There will also be 30 days of warnings before the citation period. Warnings will not be issued on streets with existing automated enforcement, according to the city, which said active corridors 'can be enforced anytime' using photo radar vans or fixed cameras. All of the corridors were approved by the Boulder City Council and will be marked with signage to notify drivers of device locations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Table Mesa King Soopers evacuated over threat Saturday morning: police
DENVER (KDVR) — The Table Mesa King Soopers in Boulder was evacuated Saturday morning over a threat, police said. The Boulder Police Department said just after 9:00 a.m. Saturday that it evacuated and searched the King Soopers after receiving a report of a threat at the store on Table Mesa Drive. Boulder to activate automated speed enforcement corridors within city limits BPD said the search was done 'of an abundance of caution,' and that the threat was determined to not be credible. Police did not reveal what the nature of the threat was. The Table Mesa King Soopers is notably the site of a March 2021 mass shooting, during which a gunman killed 10 people, including a Boulder police officer. The store was shuttered for nearly a year after the shooting, before reopening in February 2022, following renovations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
