A group of high school students used a tiny, inexpensive computer to try to measure Earth's magnetic field from the International Space Station, showing a way to affordably explore and understand our planet.

A specific retinal pathway enables mice to detect incredibly dim shadows -- nearly reaching the limit of what's physically possible. The same circuit is in human eyes, which might enable researchers to probe visual diseases at unprecedented resolution.

A new CU Boulder study of nearly 90,000 samples across six states found cannabis labels don’t adequately reflect the underlying chemical makeup of products. The study authors are now calling for a weed labeling system similar to the nutrition facts panel seen on food.

Dr. Andrew Frazelle and his operations management colleagues proposed a novel contract that may help alleviate key sources of conflict between restaurants and food-delivery platforms.

Cooling down a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant is essential for maintaining its high power conversion efficiency. Since most CSPs are installed in hot and dry regions, cooling them can be challenging both with and without water. In a new study, researchers propose a supplemental cooling technique for water-cooled CSPs that combines radiative heating with cold storage, significantly reducing the water consumption for cooling without compromising thermal efficiency.
