The historic spacecraft soon hit Earth's atmosphere flying at speeds of almost 25,000 mph. CU Boulder aerospace engineer Iain Boyd breaks down what will happen to the capsule, and how NASA will keep it safe on reentry.

The College of Media, Communication and Information received a $25,000 donation from the climate-action organization Mission Zero to further climate-focused work. Faculty and students undertook seven grant projects, tackling climate issues through innovative storytelling.

The annual Leeds Economic Outlook Forum showcased the state’s strengths, predicting Colorado's job growth will continue to outpace U.S. average. ​​

The Takács Quartet is pushing to deepen and expand its relationship with fans. Through its new CU Series, the group will allocate tickets to engage new audience members.

Extreme weather and ocean events are on the rise around the world, due largely to human-caused climate change. But to fully understand these changes—and, ideally, to predict when and where they may occur in the future—researchers and policymakers must also take into account naturally occurring climate variability, suggests new research.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology laboratories have housed atomic clocks for decades—including the cesium atomic clock NIST-F1, which serves as the primary time and frequency standard in the U.S. Researchers continue to improve the clocks' accuracies, a process that sometimes has included rebuilding parts.

Laurel Hind has received a $1.8 million award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study white blood cells called neutrophils. Her team’s long-term goal: to identify new targets for therapeutic development.

Germophobes, brace yourselves. A team of CU Boulder engineers has revealed how tiny water droplets, invisible to the naked eye, are rapidly ejected into the air when a public restroom toilet is flushed. The research also provides a methodology to help reduce this exposure risk.

Using high-powered lasers to illuminate aerosol droplets ejected from a toilet, researchers aim to reduce exposure to disease-causing pathogens in public restrooms. CU expert John Crimaldi shares on The Conversation.

When Grace Leslie steps onstage, she wears a high-tech cap that transforms the pulses in her body and brain into haunting, hypnotic sounds. She hopes that same kind of musical connection can help people heal.
