Improved understanding of the light-driven production of hydrogen holds the promise not just to make the reaction more efficient in producing a fuel but also to offer a framework to better understand future light-driven chemistries.
Robert Brakenridge has spent decades trying to understand how distant exploding stars may have affected Earth's atmosphere in the past. A new analysis indicates the need for continued research in the field.
In newly published research, CU Boulder scientists study a rocky exoplanet outside our solar system, learning more about whether and how planets maintain atmospheres.
Colorado is home to numerous sites dedicated to scientific advancement—but what were the origins of these places, and what can they teach us about our path forward? Professor Hanna Rose Shell explores this question through the remarkable story of Walter Orr Roberts, drawing on her background in historical scholarship with mixed-media art making.
Studying patient blood flow patterns could help determine who’s at risk of dangerous side effects from left ventricular assist devices and lead to improvements that could make them safer, new research suggests.
Supervisors often see trust as a motivator—but in a workplace shaken by layoffs, it can create stress instead of stability.
A new quantum device could one day help spacecraft travel beyond Earth's orbit or aid submarines as they navigate deep under the ocean with more precision than ever before.
A team of CU Boulder researchers partners with community organizations on Colorado's Western Slope to examine how language, activism and civic engagement intersect as political extremism intensifies.
Assistant Professor Carson Bruns is leading the charge on an NSF-funded project that he and his team like to call "robochemistry." Their goal is to create robotic sidekicks that can assist chemists with burdensome or unsafe tasks routinely encountered in a wet lab. But that's not all.
End-of-life planning today includes making sure your loved ones have access to digital photos, email archives and social media accounts. A student-run clinic at CU Boulder was launched to help. Read from experts Dylan Thomas Doyle and Jed Brubaker on The Conversation.
