Here, real-world research is not reserved for faculty and graduate students. Getting hands-on research experience is essential and rewarding for undergraduates. Research is part of our mission as a land-grant university, and we value its role in learning and outreach. And it will help you prepare for a successful career – no matter what you choose to do.

Pushing the boundaries of ultracold neutral plasmas
Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured to be within one degree Kelvin (absolute zero) for the first time.
CSU chemists help find a new way around a long-established limitation to electron transfer selectivity
For decades, the field has been constrained by a fundamental principle of electron transfer.
Transforming carbon dioxide into a new kind of recyclable plastic
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a process to transform naturally occurring and highly stable carbon dioxide into recyclable, high-performance materials that could replace today’s plastics in many situations.
Precisely: CSU physicists help resolve proton puzzle
A CSU team has measured a hydrogen proton’s radius to be 0.84 femtometers, resolving a long-standing scientific discrepancy known as the proton radius puzzle.
