<p>The males of two bipedal hominid species that roamed the South African savannah more than a million years ago were stay-at-home kind of guys when compared to the gadabout gals, says a new high-tech study led by the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ.</p>

<p>A ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ team will be part of a mission selected yesterday by NASA to launch a spacecraft to an asteroid and pluck samples from its surface to better understand the formation of the solar system and perhaps even the first inklings of life.</p>

<p>The University of Colorado Academic Progress Rate (APR) report based on information for the four year period between 2006-07 and 2009-10 was released by the NCAA Tuesday with those of all other Division I schools, with CU's news good across the board, including rates that are the highest in school history since the program was created seven years ago.</p>

<p>You are what you eat whether you're a lion, a giraffe or a human -- at least in terms of the bacteria in your gut.</p>

<p>Three ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ professors will receive five-year, $750,000 grants as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Early Career Research Program created in 2010 to bolster the nation's scientific workforce with top young researchers</p>

<p>Cigarette smoking, burning forests and even cooking fires all release a chemical compound not previously known to exist in significant quantities in smoke and which may have potential human health impacts, says a new study involving the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ.</p>

<p>A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy has concluded that a novel ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ method of producing hydrogen fuel from sunlight is the only approach among eight competing technologies that is projected to meet future cost targets set by the federal agency.</p>

<p>Interactive teaching methods significantly improved attendance and doubled both engagement and learning in a large physics class, according to a University of British Columbia study involving ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Distinguished Professor Carl Wieman that is being published today in Science.</p>

<p>Two faculty members from the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, a top honor recognizing scientists and engineers for distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.</p>

<p>After six years of helping operate NASA spacecraft and satellites, Andrew Poppe will receive his doctoral degree in physics from the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ on May 6.</p>
