Some dark craters on the moon are never exposed to light—ice could be hiding in these permanently shadowed regions, and a host of missions from the U.S. and beyond are searching for it. Read from CU expert Paul Hayne on The Conversation.

A new national assessment of water and climate led by Liz Payton, a water resources specialist in the CIRES-based Western Water Assessment, cites some national progress.

Nearly one in five school-aged children and preteens now take melatonin for sleep, and some parents routinely give the hormone to preschoolers, according to new CU Boulder research.

CU Boulder researchers have developed a new way of counting microorganisms that works 36 times faster than conventional methods, cuts plastic use more than 15-fold and substantially decreases the cost and carbon footprint of biomedical research. It could accelerate the discovery of new antibiotics.

New CU Boulder research helps explain how sharp patterns form on zebras, leopards, tropical fish and other creatures. Their findings could inform the development of new high-tech materials and drugs.

Understanding how animals’ intricate spots and stripes form can help scientists mimic those processes in the lab, potentially improving medical diagnostics and synthetic materials in the future. Read from CU expert Ankur Gupta on The Conversation.

Artificial intelligence tools should never replace human admissions officers, says CU Boulder scientist Sidney D’Mello. But new research suggests these platforms could help colleges and universities identify promising students amid mountains of applications.

Some people infected with the common, cat-borne parasite Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to be frail as they get older, new research shows.

Step into the Center for the Brain, AI and Child and learn from its members how artificial intelligence will impact the next generation of children and their caretakers around the world as the technology becomes a new normal.

Imagine being able to measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by Earth’s gravity with atomic clocks atop one of Colorado’s iconic peaks. That could soon be a reality thanks to an NSF grant that will advance geodesy through the use of quantum sensors, some of the most precise in the world.
