Professor Greg Rieker and Ryan Cole have developed an experiment that recreates the climates of planets beyond our solar system right in the lab. By reaching the same high-temperature and high-pressure conditions found on many exoplanets, the instrument can map their atmospheres, which could help humanity detect life outside our solar system.
Lahijanian鈥檚 work is at the intersection of safety and soundness in robotics, focusing on developing autonomous systems that operate safely and effectively alongside humans to help improve the well-being of individuals and societies.
New CU Boulder research suggests that in highly vaccinated regions, including Colorado, most infections will soon be breakthrough cases, and money spent on testing the unvaccinated could be better spent on other public health measures.
The decades-in-the-making James Webb Space Telescope will observe light from the dawn of the universe and may even detect the gases swirling in the atmospheres of alien planets.
Recent data reveal U.S. news coverage of climate change reached an all-time high in October and November. The language is also changing, with more intense words and phrases being used in the news to describe the phenomenon, such as 鈥渃limate catastrophe鈥� and 鈥渃limate emergency.鈥�
The Colorado congressman's recent visit to the CU Boulder campus came as investments in quantum research have grown across the country and the Centennial State.
Two new CubeSats, to be built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), will provide first-of-their-kind measurements of gravity waves in Earth鈥檚 upper atmosphere and explosions in the Sun鈥檚 corona.
Climate change is a much bigger problem than individuals can solve alone, but CU experts say we each can make a difference. If you want to make some climate-focused changes to improve the present and future of the planet, consider these resolutions in the new year.
Figuring out whether to celebrate holidays, and how, is tricky for lots of interfaith families鈥攂ut thoughtful communication makes a difference. Assistant Professor Samira Mehta shares on The Conversation.
Which planets beyond our solar system are most likely to host life? By extrapolating the current scientific understanding of Mars, a multi-disciplinary team, including researchers from LASP, is helping identify alien planets that may be habitable.
