New peer-review paper looks at evolution and current Western diet to help explain manic behaviors. New research suggests that conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity…
University of Colorado Denver researcher Marin Lockley was a member of the team that found the well-preserved footprints. A new study released on June 11…
Biological tissues have evolved over millennia to be perfectly optimized for their specific functions. Take cartilage as an example. It’s a compliant, elastic tissue that’s…
Pinnacle Point, a series of archaeological sites that overlook a now submerged section of South Africa’s coastline and one of the world’s most important localities…
MIT and University of Colorado researchers are collaborating on an experiment to be sent to the International Space Station. Researchers from MIT will be collaborating…
The HPV vaccine is one of only two vaccines that prevent cancer but is underutilized in the United States. Despite its proven success at preventing…
Galaxy mergers—in which two galaxies join together over billions of years in sometimes-dramatic bursts of light—aren’t always easy for astronomers to spot. Now, scientists from…
Researchers have created tiny droplets of the ultra-hot matter that once filled the early universe, forming three distinct shapes and sizes: circles, ellipses and triangles….
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have helped to find the last reservoir of ordinary matter hiding in the universe. Ordinary matter, or “baryons,”…
Researchers at CU Boulder have discovered microbes living in a toxic volcanic lake that may rank as one of the harshest environments on Earth. Their…
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have completed an unprecedented “dissection” of twin galaxies in the final stages of merging. The new study, led…
In a newly published study, researchers pinpoint a way to restrict the ability of cancer to use glucose for energy. Cancer cells consume exorbitant amounts…
A newly published study reveals that a colossal impact with a large asteroid is a likely cause for the mysterious features found on Mars. The…
An international team of scientists has discovered a new species of a new species of hominin in South Africa that may have existed alongside modern…
Using data from NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, a new study led by University of Colorado Boulder reveals that the moon is engulfed…
Arctic sea ice has reached its peak winter extent for the year, and new data from the NASA-supported National Snow and Ice Data Center shows…
New research being presented at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference details the discovery of an unexplained high-altitude dust cloud and aurora that reaches…
While exploring whether a structured RNA molecule from a virus that infects eukaryotic cells could function in bacteria, scientists found that it could initiate protein…
