Yeast cells and human immune system cells rely on similar chemical reactions to know when to grow. Scientists have identified differences between the cell types that could help with the development of antifungal drugs.
Ever wonder what gives a forest its pine-fresh scent? The answer is the molecular compound pinene, naturally released by plants. A new study explores how and under what conditions plants emit pinene and other volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. The results may help scientists detect when an ecosystem is in distress.
The university held this same position in the 2020 report, indicating continued productivity in driving impact from research and innovation. The university had 86 patents issued last year.
Attorneys' fees and other barriers keep many people from setting up wills. A team of researchers from three colleges hopes artificial intelligence can automate parts of that process and make wills more accessible.
Chemical and environmental engineering professor Erin Ratcliff will lead a national collaboration to create solar fuels and storage technologies that are more durable and sustainable, but less expensive.
After years of preparation and anticipation, exoplanet researchers are ecstatic about the first official scientific observation of an exoplanet by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The results are indicative of Webb's ability to spot key molecules like carbon dioxide in a wide variety of exoplanets.
Emily Aguilar was already working on a certificate in aircraft mechanics when her high school counselor showed her some aerospace engineering videos that helped her choose an academic direction.
Adults ages 60 and older who sit for long periods watching TV or engaging in other passive, sedentary behaviors may be at increased risk of developing dementia, according to a new study.
A newly discovered impact crater below the seafloor hints at the possibility that more than one asteroid hit Earth during the time when dinosaurs went extinct. UArizona researcher Veronica Bray, who specializes in craters found throughout the solar system, is co-author of a new study about the discovery.
Researchers are developing specialized, reusable sponges to remove harmful chemicals known as PFAS from water. PFAS have been used for decades in products such as makeup, nonstick pans and firefighting foam.
