Now, a team from CU Boulder is working to make those out-there technologies a reality.
NASA announced that it will send a new infrared camera to the moon to collect unprecedented temperature data on the boulders and shadows at the surface.
New research shows that hackers, working with limited resources, could send fake emergency alerts to cell phones in a confined area like a sports stadium.
Droughts, floods, natural disasters—new research shows, without radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, one in four armed conflicts will result from climate change by century’s end.
