An instrument designed and built in Colorado will measure how much energy leaves Earth on a daily basis—shaping processes that sustain life from wind and weather to ocean currents and more.
New observations provide an extraordinarily detailed look at how stars are born in the extreme environment near the heart of the galaxy.
A team of early-career researchers say exploring how life may have evolved on far-away worlds could lead to advancements on Earth—from new sources of clean-burning fuels to technology that can pull greenhouse gases from the air.
For astronauts, coming back to Earth is one of the most dangerous parts of any mission. A new research facility addresses that challenge by creating streams of gas that flow at thousands of miles per hour and burn at temperatures of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit.
The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission are slated to launch for the moon in March. CU Â鶹ӰԺ researcher Paul Hayne talks about why it's important for humans to return to the moon—and search for water in its shadowy craters.
CU researchers worked with an international team to uncover more about the mysterious objects detected by the James Webb Space Telescope.
A former NASA engineer and retired aerospace engineering professor reflects on lessons learned from the space shuttle tragedy.
CU Â鶹ӰԺ carried out major research at the Mars Desert Research Station, a facility that gives scientists and engineers the opportunity to conduct complex experiments in a Mars-simulation habitat.
Ripples in space and time constantly churn through the universe, forming what's called the "gravitational wave background." A new study examines why these waves are so much bigger than scientists once predicted.
The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics has been awarded a $25 million NASA grant to develop instruments that will be deployed on the lunar surface by astronauts during the Artemis IV mission to the moon's south pole.
