Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØresearchers across space science, bioengineering and nanomaterials are turning "what if" questions into transformative discoveries.
People in Colorado and across the United States saw glowing skies this week as a powerful solar storm shook Earth's atmosphere.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder students who are part of the Sounding Rocket Lab designed and launched a rocket that soared to 90,000 feet in altitude.
International researchers, including several from Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's LASP, have reported the first evidence of a coronal mass ejection carrying both hot and cool plasma from a young star—suggesting such ejections from the early sun may have affected the chemistry of Earth's atmosphere and the emergence and evolution of life on Earth.
A new study led by space chemist Jordy Bouwman may reveal a missing link in how certain organic molecules form in outer space. They include buckminsterfullerine, sometimes known as the "buckyball," a molecule that bears a striking resemblance to a soccer ball.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers continued to deliver meaningful, positive outcomes in the university's public research mission through strong results in fiscal year 2024–25.
Planetary scientist Shannon Curry has spent her career exploring why Earth, Mars and Venus look so different today. Her findings may shape how scientists search for life in other worlds, and could help keep astronauts safe as they venture into space.
A new instrument built at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder will capture tiny particles streaming into our solar system from the galaxy beyond.
Maryam Shakiba is studying complex composite materials with machine learning to make stronger and lighter aircraft for the Navy.
Over several white-knuckle months, an operations team at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics brought a small satellite back from the dead—just in time to explore a region of space known as Very Low Earth Orbit.
