<p>Minh Than, one of the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ's three Goldwater Scholarship winners in 2011, is spending his summer working in the lab of Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and CU-Boulder Professor Min Han.</p>

<p>An international team of astronomers led by the California Institute of Technology and involving the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ has discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe.</p>

<p>A $670 million NASA orbiting mission to probe the past climate of Mars led by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ reached a major milestone last week when it successfully completed its Mission Critical Design Review by the space agency.</p>

<p>The Colorado economy will grow at a modest pace throughout the second half of 2011 with slow but positive job growth, according to economist Richard Wobbekind of the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ's Leeds School of Business.</p>

<p>Showcasing new tools for widespread development of quantum circuits made of mechanical parts, scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ have demonstrated a flexible, broadly usable technique for steadily calming the vibrations of an engineered mechanical object down to the quantum "ground state," the lowest possible energy level.</p>

<p>Colorado business leaders remained confident, although generally less optimistic about the economy looking ahead to the third quarter, according to the most recent quarterly Leeds Business Confidence Index, or LBCI, released today by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ's Leeds School of Business.</p>
