A highly skillful and delicate method of sharpening and retouching stone artifacts by prehistoric people appears to have been developed at least 75,000 years ago, more than 50,000 years earlier than previously thought, according to a new study led by the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder.

NASA's space shuttle Discovery will make its swan song flight Nov. 1 carrying two University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder-built biomedical payload devices, including one to help scientists better understand changes in the virulence of nasty bacteria in the low gravity of space as a way to help researchers prevent or control infectious diseases.

Two University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ faculty members have received prestigious National Science Foundation Early Career Development, or CAREER awards.

Taylor Roberts, a University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder senior majoring in architectural engineering, is an example of the growing number of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder students who are civically engaged.

University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder Professor Douglas R. Seals has amassed scientific evidence indicating that exercise, weight loss, good nutrition and salt restriction can cut your chances of getting cardiovascular disease, the United States' No. 1 killer.

A University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder space dust counter designed, tested and operated by students that is flying aboard NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto now holds the record for the most distant working dust detector ever to travel through space.

If you think global warming is bad, 11 billion years ago the entire universe underwent what might be called universal warming. The consequence of that early heating was that fierce blasts of radiation from voracious black holes stunted the growth of some small galaxies for a stretch of 500 million years.

NASA announced today that the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder-led mission to Mars to investigate how the planet lost much of its atmosphere eons ago has been approved by the space agency to move into the development stage.

A half-billion years ago, vertebrates lacked the ability to chew their food. They did not have jaws. Instead, their heads consisted of a flexible, fused basket of cartilage.
