Alumni, industry execs and other space buffs celebrated the state’s growing prominence in aerospace—from probing the Bennu asteroid to an array of industry partnerships—at the second annual Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Aerospace Summit earlier this week.

Research suggests lactate, a metabolic byproduct that can interfere with sports performance, plays a role in cancer formation. And while people who regularly exercise tend to be able to clear lactate, others with a sedentary lifestyle, combined with excess sugar intake, may have a harder time.

A $3 million Department of Energy grant will help Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê researchers create better membranes for use in efficient cost-effective battery components for large-scale energy storage.

Using mathematical calculations, a new study bears the recipe for how marathoners could break the world record among males, shaving about four and a half minutes off the fastest time.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and JILA researcher Tom Perkins has spent the last seven years trying to understand how and why proteins fold and unfold.

A Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê research team has found marked health benefits from electric-assist commuter bikes and "passive-cycling." Now the team is studying an under-the-desk cycle that shows similar promise.

Older vertical oil and gas wells are more likely to cause groundwater contamination than newer wells, new Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê research shows.

Preliminary evidence shows changes in gut microbiota could contribute to poor artery health with aging. This condition is worsened by eating a "Western diet" high in fat and sugars and low in fiber. With a $3 million grant, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê researchers are investigating further.

Not only does Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê continue to be one of the top Peace Corps volunteer-producing schools of all time, holding the No. 5 spot, but it also ranks highly annually, this year taking the No. 11 spot among schools of similar size across the U.S.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê scientists have found that 4- and 5-year-olds who go to bed later and are exposed to brighter nighttime light experience delays in their biological clock, which could lead to night-owl schedules and associated health problems.
