At the College of Natural Sciences, discovery begins here. Research by our faculty pushes the boundaries of our knowledge – and improves lives. Students, from first-year undergraduates to doctoral candidates, are essential collaborators throughout the process at Colorado State. We know that great research comes from great people and great connections.

Research News
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.
For decades, the field has been constrained by a fundamental principle of electron transfer.
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.
Note: The College of Natural Sciences pays differential tuition for all graduate students on a research assistantship (GTA), teaching assistantship (GTA), or other assistantship (GSA).
