Five KU students, two spring graduates and two faculty members are working this summer in Switzerland with more than 1,000 scientists who are preparing to launch a supercollider project that could change fundamental knowledge of the universe.

KU is a great place to earn a degree, and a recent study says it's a top spot to have a career, too. The university is featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education's "2008 Great Colleges to Work For." A KU professor even made the cover of the issue.

KU is doing its part to ensure that stateside technology has an impact on lives in faraway lands. A team of physicians and nurses recently removed a tumor from the face of a 7-year-old boy from Mali. The daylong surgery removed the tumor completely.

An NCAA men's basketball national championship and a FedEx Orange Bowl victory have made Lawrence a finalist for ESPN's "TitleTown USA." The voting starts July 24!

It's the alchemy of alternative energy: Researchers and student volunteers at the University of Kansas are transforming waste grease into valuable transportation fuel.

4Kids.org is a weekly newspaper feature and Web site produced at KU by educators and students with support from ALTEC. The publication promotes reading and intellectual interests by providing children and parents with Web sites that show learning can be fun.

Joseph Evans, KU's Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, says research shows the digital revolution has lifted the need for unoccupied gaps in the TV spectrum and opened white space for use by a new wave of electronic devices.
