The International Space Station has a problem with fungus and mold—and BioServe Space Technologies at CU Boulder is investigating potential fixes thanks to a new grant from NASA.

Scientists have reignited the debate over the age of Saturn’s rings, suggesting that the features may have formed early in the history of the solar system.

Recent research shows that our planet may have been pummeled with asteroids long before some scientists had previously thought.

Luis Zea and his colleagues are exploring whether a technique common on Earth, called biomining, may one day help people to extract resources in space.

The Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE) will reveal new information about the lunar surface and pave the way for human astronauts on the moon.

Fifty years after it was first laid out on the moon, the Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment, the brainchild of JILA's James Faller, is still in use.

Fifty years ago, a mammoth effort by hundreds of thousands of Americans culminated in Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. This week, the Brainwaves podcast looks at the history and future of lunar exploration.

More than 50 years after humans first set foot on the moon, one CU Boulder researcher will gain access to a cache of never-before-studied lunar rocks.
