- This year, schools across Colorado experienced an influx of students, many of them migrants from Latin and South America. A small but dedicated group of scholars at CU Boulder are helping teachers meet the needs of these new arrivals.
- In the 1970s, Denver became the first and only city to be named an Olympics host, then later back out. A new study shows that Colorado’s feelings about the Games remain complicated today.
- Odysseus, a tenacious lander built by the company Intuitive Machines, almost didn't make it to the moon. But an experiment aboard the spacecraft managed to capture an image of Earth as it might look to observers on a planet far from our own.
- At a ceremony May 28 on the CU Boulder campus, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis ushered in a new bill to support the state’s rapidly growing quantum industry.
- In 1612, astronomer Galileo Galilei observed dark splotches can sunspots moving across the face of the sun. A new study could reveal the engine that drives these cloudy features, and much of the sun's volatile activity.
- Researchers led by CU Boulder primatologist Michelle Sauther walked the paths of the Lajuma Research Centre in South Africa at night, keeping an eye out for the glowing eyes of galago primates, or bushbabies. The team's findings reveal troubling hints about how small animals may adapt to extreme temperatures.
- Billions of years ago, Venus may have held as much water as Earth. Now, it harbors 100,000 times less water than our planet. A new study from planetary scientists at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) dives into how that water disappeared.
- Earth scientists have long turned to minute differences in hydrogen atoms to explore the ancient history of our planet. A new study suggests that these same tiny atoms could one day lead to new ways to track the growth of cancer.
- Researchers examined data from dozens of studies and found that, in almost all cases, animals could beat their robot counterparts in a footrace. CU Boulder roboticist Kaushik Jayaram hopes the study will inspire engineers to learn how to build more adaptable robots.
- Nearly 3,000 light-years away, two stars dancing around each other are about to put on a beautiful show for people on Earth. Astrophysicist David Wilson gives his take on why this is an event you don't want to miss.
