- <p>The human gut harbors a teeming menagerie of over 100 trillion microorganisms and exercising early in life can alter that microbial community for the better, promoting healthier brain and metabolic activity over the course of a lifetime.</p>
- <p>Water managers in Colorado and the West scrambling to meet the growing demand for increasingly scarce water supplies caused by large populations far from water resources, climate change and drought need to focus more effort on conserving water, including addressing reservoir evaporation, say 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder researchers.</p>
- <p>Researchers have developed a groundbreaking microprocessor chip that uses light, rather than electricity, to transfer data at rapid speeds while consuming minute amounts of energy.</p>
- <p>The Ebola virus and fruit bats have been waging a molecular battle for survival that may have started at least 25 million years ago.</p>
- <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Humans havent learned much in 2,000 years when it comes to religion and politics.</span>Religion has led to social tension and conflict, not just in todays society, but dating back to 700 B.C., according to a new study published today in<i>Current Anthropology</i>.</p>
- <p>Running uphill on steep inclines is never easy, but researchers at the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder have discovered a range of slope angles that would allow an athlete to ascend a mountain most quickly.</p>
- <p>A new study led by the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder and the 勛圖厙 of California, San Diego indicates unique and changing microbial communities present during the decomposition of human cadavers look to be a reliable clock for forensic scientists.</p>
- <p class="p1"><span class="s1">A research effort led by the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder to develop an inexpensive, do-it-yourself coating to retrofit energy-inefficient windows in residential and commercial buildings has been given a $4 million boost over three years by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).</span></p>
- <p>A NASA-funded miniature satellite built by 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder students will launch at 5:55 p.m. EST on Thursday from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the start of a six-month-long mission to study solar flares and the powerful X-rays emitted by the sun.</p>
- <p>Researchers at the 勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder have discovered that a combination of pre-natal stress and an unapproved pre-term labor medication called terbutaline may create a higher risk for the co-development of autism and epilepsy based on test results involving laboratory rats.</p>
