Billions of years ago, Venus may have held as much water as Earth. Now, it harbors 100,000 times less water than our planet. A new study from planetary scientists at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) dives into how that water disappeared.

Associate Professor Markas Henry reflects on the sometimes vague or even non-existent line between clothing and show—a distintion that can blur at the annual Met Gala.

Earth scientists have long turned to minute differences in hydrogen atoms to explore the ancient history of our planet. A new study suggests that these same tiny atoms could one day lead to new ways to track the growth of cancer.

A AVÃûʪ & Innovation Office grant program announced nearly $95,000 in combined funding for 17 projects exploring topics in disciplines from Asian languages and environmental design to composition and Classics.

For the first time in the field, CIRES-led research shows that ice shelves don’t just buckle under the weight of meltwater lakes—they fracture.

Studying Venus’ water loss can help scientists better understand how planets go from potentially habitable to incapable of supporting life. Read from CU expert Eryn Cangi on The Conversation.

The Colorado River’s future may be a little brighter than expected, according to a new modeling study from CIRES researchers. Warming temperatures have raised doubts the river could recover. But the new study paints a fuller picture.

Precisely measuring the energy states of individual atoms has been a historical challenge for physicists because of the tendency for atoms to recoil. In a new paper, JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey and James Thompson, JILA Fellow Murray Holland, and their teams proposed a way to overcome this problem.

In the past few weeks, multiple tornadoes have wreaked havoc in the central and southern U.S. Atmospheric scientist Andrew Winters says more may be on the way and offers tips to stay safe.

Members of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team are working with CU researchers on a project that could ultimately improve performance and reduce injury for hockey players with lower-limb amputations or impairments.
