A new Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ study indicates the infestation of trees by mountain pine beetles in the high country across the West could potentially trigger earlier snowmelt and increase water yields from snowpack that accumulates beneath affected trees.

DENVER – Three University of Colorado researchers have been named to the 2011 class of Boettcher Investigators in the Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Program. This is the second year for the program, which supports early career scientists in their work toward making discoveries that improve human health. CU's 2011 Boettcher Investigators are: Zhe Chen, Ph.D., assistant research professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ, whose research focuses on axon guidance during neural development

Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ environmental design students are kicking off a community discussion on the future of University Hill public space through a series of installations being placed throughout the neighborhood this week.

The males of two bipedal hominid species that roamed the South African savannah more than a million years ago were stay-at-home kind of guys when compared to the gadabout gals, says a new high-tech study led by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ.

Three Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ professors will receive five-year, $750,000 grants as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Early Career Research Program created in 2010 to bolster the nation's scientific workforce with top young researchers

Cigarette smoking, burning forests and even cooking fires all release a chemical compound not previously known to exist in significant quantities in smoke and which may have potential human health impacts, says a new study involving the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ.

A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy has concluded that a novel Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ method of producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight is the only approach among eight competing technologies that is projected to meet future cost targets set by the federal agency.
