ÀϾÅÆ·²è

<p>The U.S. Senate has voted to confirm ÀϾÅÆ·²è Distinguished Professor Carl Lineberger as a member of the National Science Board. He was nominated for the position by President Barack Obama in April.</p>

<p>Several ÀϾÅÆ·²è faculty and students are participating in NASA's Juno Mission to Jupiter, now slated for launch Aug. 5 from Florida's Kennedy Space Center and which is expected to help steer scientists toward the right recipe for planet-making.</p>

<p>An international team of astronomers led by the California Institute of Technology and involving the ÀϾÅÆ·²è has discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe.</p>

<p>A $670 million NASA orbiting mission to probe the past climate of Mars led by the ÀϾÅÆ·²è reached a major milestone last week when it successfully completed its Mission Critical Design Review by the space agency.</p>

<p>Showcasing new tools for widespread development of quantum circuits made of mechanical parts, scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the ÀϾÅÆ·²è have demonstrated a flexible, broadly usable technique for steadily calming the vibrations of an engineered mechanical object down to the quantum "ground state," the lowest possible energy level.</p>

<p>A ÀϾÅÆ·²è research team has developed a new software program allowing neuroscientists to produce single brain images pulled from hundreds of individual studies, trimming weeks and even months from what can be a tedious, time-consuming research process.</p>

<p>ÀϾÅÆ·²è Provost Russell L. Moore today announced the formation of a five-member steering committee and eight campus discussion groups that will take the next key steps toward creating a school or college in the area of information, communication, journalism, media and technology, or ICJMT.</p>

<p>A novel ÀϾÅÆ·²è technique to shrink the size of circuitry used in nanotechnology devices like computer chips and solar cells by zapping a substrate with two separate colors of light beams has been optioned to Heidelberg Instruments headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany.</p>

<p>Community gardeners eat more vegetables, exercise more, weigh less and feel healthier than nongardeners -- and even home gardeners -- in the Denver-metro area, researchers led by scholars from the University of Colorado have found.</p>

<p>Samples of icy spray shooting from Saturn's moon Enceladus collected during Cassini spacecraft flybys show the strongest evidence yet for the existence of a large-scale, subterranean saltwater ocean, says a new international study led by the University of Heidelberg and involving the ÀϾÅÆ·²è.</p>
