 While some species are keeping pace with each other's changes, certain bumblebees may be struggling to find enough food. While some species are keeping pace with each other's changes, certain bumblebees may be struggling to find enough food.
 The longevity of female common dolphins has decreased by seven years in the last two decades in regions of the North Atlantic, with many getting caught in commercial fishing nets.

 Across the Arctic, bacteria and other microorganisms have become trapped underground in frozen soil and ice. A new study finds that these ancient microbes may still be capable of forming thriving colonies.

 Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can lead to total device failure and what to do about it.

- A team at ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ is studying heavy metal pollution in a watershed near Aspen. Their efforts have a dual goal: contributing to clean-up efforts and studying the potential of recovering some of the metals.
 Colorado's golden autumn colors are emerging as trees prepare for winter. This process is driven by quiet chemical changes inside each leaf. Colorado's golden autumn colors are emerging as trees prepare for winter. This process is driven by quiet chemical changes inside each leaf.
