- Researchers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder found that when electricity is applied to "torons," they celebrate like they’re at Carnival.
- For more than 40 years, the Triceratops skull in the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØMuseum of Natural History has wowed visitors of all ages. Now, that fossil is ready for its close-up.
- Researchers from Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder have created a low-cost solar cell with one of the highest power-conversion efficiencies to date, by layering cells and using a unique combination of elements.Â
- Kevin Costner, eat your heart out. New research shows that the early Earth, home to some of our planet’s first lifeforms, may have been a real-life "waterworld."
- A new study taps into mathematics to probe how people make fraught choices, such as whom to vote for on election day.
- Gregory Whiting and his research group are preparing for the thrill of a lifetime: two parabolic flights, each expected to provide around 10 minutes of reduced gravity to test and model how 3D printing of functional materials works in lunar gravity.
- Underground robots will soon become part of Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s efforts to achieve new feats of spelunking as part of a high-stakes competition launched by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
- Henry Kapteyn and Margaret Murnane, pioneers in the field of laser science, have won this year's prestigious Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics.
- Buildings that can heal their own cracks, absorb toxins from the air or even glow on command? They may not be so far off, a new study suggests.
- The way nutrients and drugs move within the body has more in common with space-bound rockets and jets than you might think.
