...Ethnic studies is not the same thing as area studies," says Evelyn Hu-deHart, professor of history and director of the Center for Studies of Ethnicity and Race in America (CSERA) at the University of Colorado at Boulder...
...just last week, the University of Colorado at Boulder approved the creation of an ethnic studies department. Until now, students have been able to major in ethnic studies, with a concentration in "Afro-American studies, American Indian studies, Asian American studies or Chicano/Latino studies...
When Cornell and fellow physicists at the JILA laboratory (formerly the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics) in Boulder, Colorado, announced their achievement in Science last week, their colleagues around the world were quick to cheer. "The term Holy Grail seems quite appropriate, given the singular importance of this discovery," wrote Oxford physicist Keith Burnett in a commentary that accompanied the report...
...that as atoms approach absolute zero (-459.67 degrees F), the waves expand and finally overlap; the atoms merge into a single "quantum state." It's extraordinarily difficult to get them to 180 billionths of a degree above absolute zero, though -- the point at which the merging occurs. Thus the Boulder group's feat was a technical as well as a scientific...
...motion of atoms and molecules; slowing therefore equals cooling). Then they put the atoms in a magnetic "bottle" that allowed the faster-moving, more energetic atoms to escape; those left behind were cooler. Finally, in a leap of ingenuity that enabled this scientific team to outflank its rivals, the Boulder scientists rotated the magnetic field so that the few cold atoms that were leaking through a weak point in the bottle couldn't find this one escape route...
