Making its debut 8 months ago, La Casa Alba has been a hit among locals. The family operated establishment on 715 Washington is in Santiago’s previous location. Youngest son of the Alba family and manager of the restaurant, Scott, grew up in Golden. While the family boasts being in Golden for over 30 years, Scott’s mother is originally from Mexico.
Year after year, aside from exams, move-in day proves to be one of the most overwhelming and stressful days of the semester. What better way to ease the tension of move-in day than by joining a floor filled with other freshman who all share similar interests? Mines’ five themed learning communities provide this opportunity to the students lucky enough to be selected to live on the designated floors.
Waffles are a decadent treat often associated with breakfast foods. They go well with fried chicken too. People all over the world have enjoyed waffles for many years. With the addition of chocolate, this delicacy can be transformed into a treat for anytime. Follow this recipe to make delicious chocolate waffles that will satisfy any sweet-tooth.
Almost every student at Mines takes a thermodynamics course in their academic career. Whether the topic is enjoyable or not, Muneera Beach, PhD in Biochemistry and Biophysics, explains the importance of thermodynamics in technology today. Beach works with a microcalorimetry. Microcalorimetry is essentially the study of thermodynamics at a microscopic level. This helps scientists understand the complex binding phenomena through heat interactions. The two capital methods of microcalorimetry are Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC).
Twenty brand new songs. Twenty days. Experimental guitar sessions. Synthesis of old and new beats. Creativity flowing from studio room to studio room as multiple songs are recording at the same time.
~In the distant future~ Nobody can break an addiction until they decide that they want to be unhappy. I have lived in fear for three years. The reasons for this fear will become self-evident, and you likely know them if you live in this time, but first I need to explain who I am. My…

A new class of thermoelectric material may allow for more efficient conversion of industrial waste heat into electrical energy. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology created a new clathrate—a type of lattice that traps atoms and molecules in “cages”—that holds cerium atoms in a structure made of barium, silicon, and gold. When one side of the material is heated, electrons in the cerium atoms move toward the cooler side, creating a voltage between the two sides. The team behind this discovery will attempt to duplicate this effect using more economically viable elements to improve the material’s marketability.
