<p>The Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ is celebrating Colorado history with a three-day scanning event for the Colorado Communities historical website and free consultations with experts on family history and genealogy.</p>

<p>A Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ study shows a ubiquitous type of phytoplankton -- tiny organisms that are the base of the marine food web – appears to be suffering from the effects of ocean acidification caused by climate change.</p>

<p>Western U.S. forests killed by the mountain pine beetle epidemic are no more at risk to burn than healthy Western forests, according to new findings by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ that fly in the face of both public perception and policy.</p>

<p><span>Seventy percent of forested lands remaining in the world are within a half mile of the forest edge, where encroaching urban, suburban or agricultural influences can cause any number of harmful effects, according to a new study involving </span><span>CU-Boulder </span><span>scientists.</span></p>

<p>Among cancers, scientists have spent their entire research careers looking for cellular similarities that may lead to a single cure for many cancers –– the rare chance to have a single answer to a multifaceted problem. In 1997, scientists discovered a gene that they believed was the key to cellular immortality. Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase, or TERT, is a catalytic piece of telomerase, and while cellular immortality sounds like a good idea, it is actually how cancerous tumors grow and proliferate in cancer patients. In a recent paper published in Science, Tom Cech, director of the <a href="http://biofrontiers.colorado.edu">BioFrontiers Institute</a>, worked with collaborators at CU's Anschutz Medical Campus to study mutations in bladder cancer that may lead to better treatments for many types of cancers.</p>

<p>Today’s rich variety of beetles may be due to an historically low extinction rate rather than a high rate of new species emerging, according to a new study. These findings were revealed by combing through the fossil record.</p>

<p>NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has observed two unexpected phenomena in the Martian atmosphere: an unexplained high-altitude dust cloud and aurora that reaches deep into the Martian atmosphere.</p>

<p>University of Colorado Professor Patty Limerick will review nearly four decades of service as University Fool and reflect on the value of humor on April Fools’ Day.</p>

<p>Eleven Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ researchers, including an unprecedented number of engineers, have received the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Awards.</p>

<p>A new study by a team of Cassini mission scientists led by the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ have found that microscopic grains of rock detected near Saturn imply hydrothermal activity is taking place within the moon Enceladus.</p>
