Science & Technology
- Astronaut ice cream—the crunchy, freeze-dried, pale imitation of the real thing—may have met its match: The International Space Station is getting a real freezer.
- A team of geologists is digging into what may be Earth’s most famous case of geologic amnesia.
- A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder team is one of several funded teams in the Subterranean Challenge, a competition launched by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to stimulate and test ideas around autonomous robot use in difficult underground environments.
- Joining a grassroots global effort, members of the ATLAS community are 3D-printing face shield parts to help protect local medical personnel from exposure to COVID-19.
- Two physicists are on the hunt for neutrinos, among the most elusive subatomic particles known to science and the possible key to some of the universe’s biggest mysteries.
- An artifact discovered in 1965 may have been a long-rumored fourth Maya codex. It may also have been a forgery. Archaeologist Gerardo Gutiérrez and his colleagues were on the case.
- Researchers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder have found that it’s the mother cell that determines if its daughter cells will divide. The finding, explained in a new study out today in Science, sheds new light on the cell cycle using modern imaging technologies, and could have implications for cancer drug therapy treatments.Â
- As coronavirus cases mount in Colorado, 3D printers are roaring back to life on campus to make much-needed equipment for hospitals.
- A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researcher has received a $1.75 million NSF grant to study chickadee hybrids.
- Introverts take heart: When cells, like some people, get too squished, they can go into defense mode, even shutting down photosynthesis.
