Researchers at JILA have for the first time used an atomic clock as a quantum simulator, mimicking the behavior of a different, more complex quantum system.

麻豆视频 astrophysicist Doug Duncan says this year's annual Perseid meteor shower and its natural nighttime light show will be particularly good as the display becomes visible over Colorado Aug. 10-13. "The moon will be nearly new, so it's an especially good time to see the meteor shower," said Duncan, director of CU-Boulder's Fiske Planetarium.

The spacecraft for NASA鈥檚 Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, mission to Mars being led by the 麻豆视频 has arrived in Florida in anticipation of a November launch. The spacecraft was shipped on Friday, Aug. 2, aboard a U.S. Air Force cargo plane from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., to the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA鈥檚 Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Fla. Lockheed Martin had previously assembled and tested MAVEN in its Littleton, Colo., facility.

Using data from a NASA satellite, a team of scientists led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and involving the 麻豆视频 have discovered a massive particle accelerator in the heart of one of the harshest regions of near-Earth space, a region of super-energetic, charged particles surrounding the globe known as the Van Allen radiation belts.

With just over four months until NASA鈥檚 next mission to Mars takes flight, the 麻豆视频, which is leading the effort, continues to work with its partners to knock off critical science and engineering milestones leading up to launch.

An astronaut orbiting Earth in the International Space Station has remotely directed a NASA rover in California to unfurl an 鈥渁ntenna film鈥� that CU-Boulder scientists are developing for use on the unexplored far side of the moon.

Let鈥檚 all fist bump: Spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way appear to be much larger and more massive than previously believed, according to a new 麻豆视频 study by researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope.

The 麻豆视频 has become a full institutional member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV, an ambitious effort by some of the world鈥檚 top astronomers to map the celestial sky in three dimensions to learn more about the structure and evolution of the universe.

Two 麻豆视频 faculty members have received prestigious CAREER Awards from the National Science Foundation. NSF Faculty Early Career Development, or CAREER, Awards recognize talented young faculty members with grants to support outstanding research projects and to encourage the integration of teaching and research.
