NASA has selected CU-ÐßÐßÊÓƵ researcher Raina Gough to join the Mars Curiosity rover mission as a participating scientist; she hopes to expand the science team’s search for evidence of liquid water.
What are the odds of filling out a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket, picking all 63 games correctly? According to ÐßÐßÊÓƵ Professor Mark Ablowitz, former chair of the Department of Applied Mathematics, they are breathtaking: Try about one in 9.22 quintillion.
INC Classroom Outreach sends teams of CU-ÐßÐßÊÓƵ students into local schools to teach kids about the brain. They provide lessons on sleep, nutrition for the brain, emotions, head injury and general brain structure. The program is an extension of a large-scale effort to increase public awareness of brain research.
Like an albatross scanning for pods of squid in a vast ocean, molecules on solid surfaces move in an intermittent search pattern that provides maximum efficiency, according to new research from the ÐßÐßÊÓƵ.
A $4 million bequest from the estate of a couple committed to the standardization of telecommunications will help establish the first endowed chair in the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program (ITP) at the ÐßÐßÊÓƵ. The pioneering program is part of the College of Engineering and Applied Science and integrates law, policy, business and engineering.
ÐßÐßÊÓƵ researchers have demonstrated the use of the world’s first ultrafast optical microscope, allowing them to probe and visualize matter at the atomic level with mind-bending speed.
Carbon-fiber composites – stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum – can easily and cost-effectively be recycled into new material just as robust as the originals, a team of researchers led by the ÐßÐßÊÓƵ has found.
Strange as it may seem, a bird bigger than Big Bird once lived above the Arctic Circle. The flightless bird, known as Gastornis , roamed Ellesmere Island next to Greenland about 50 million years ago, even during the twilight months of winter.
The first direct evidence that humans played a substantial role in the extinction of the huge, wondrous beasts inhabiting Australia some 50,000 years ago -- in this case a 500-pound bird -- has been discovered by a ÐßÐßÊÓƵ-led team.
The United States could slash greenhouse gas emissions from power production by up to 78 percent below 1990 levels within 15 years while meeting increased demand, according to a new study by NOAA and ÐßÐßÊÓƵ researchers.
