Flowering plants, or angiosperms, now dominate Earth's flora, but biologists thought they truly took off only after an asteroid impact 66 million years ago. A "botanical Pompeii" containing fossilized seeds and fruits shows they prospered 10 million years earlier.
A collaboration between Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder and Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØAnschutz researchers led to the CAP-LIFT cannula, a redesigned surgical instrument that is making arthroscopic hip procedures safer and more efficient.
A new study shows widespread exposure to harmful UV radiation and heat in many of Denver's public spaces. It also offers a roadmap for designing healthier neighborhoods.
Engineering researchers have entered the design phase of an NSF-funded project to build a scalable long-distance quantum network, paving the way for advances in quantum computing, communications and sensing.
Simple foraging behavior of grazing animals can produce the terracettes that stripe hillsides around the world, new Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder research shows.
By combining AI with weather and terrain data, Assistant Professor Zhi Li's approach predicts flooding with unprecedented speed and precision, enabling more personalized warnings.
The first user-experience study of "generative ghosts" offers insight into what people want—and don't want—from digital representations of their deceased loved ones.
By studying how nature builds with dirt, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers found a way to turn excavated soil into stronger and 3D printable building materials.
A fragment of a lost world has provided the first direct evidence that a protoplanet in the early solar system could have been as large as Mars. The findings challenge assumptions about how early planets evolved.
Researchers have discovered new rodent-like species that inhabited the ancient Arctic 73 million years ago. Their fossil teeth offer surprising clues on where they came from and how they outlived the dinosaurs.
