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 CU Boulder 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.

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

A CU Boulder 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 CU Boulder 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, CU Boulder researchers are investigating further.

Not only does CU Boulder 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.

CU Boulder 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.

Humans have dramatically increased the spatial and seasonal extent of wildfires across the U.S. in recent decades and ignited more than 840,000 blazes over a 21-year period, according to new University of Colorado Boulder-led research.
