Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have discovered about 80 new supernovas. Their findings provide a new window into the early universe.

UArizona researchers have developed a new way to uncover hidden layers in the atmosphere, which could help better explain how pollution gets trapped over cities.

In a new UArizona-led study, veterans who were paired with a service dog for just three months were 66% less likely to be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Understanding how animals pack food away may help conservationists develop adaptive management strategies in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Astronomers have captured a volcanic event on Jupiter's moon Io at a resolution never before achieved with Earth-based observations.

Researchers have discovered the most distant galaxy ever detected. The secrets it contains challenge previous assumptions about galactic evolution.

UArizona astronomers have scored some of the largest chunks of observing time with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

What if your earbuds could do everything your smartphone can, but better? A new class of synthetic materials could allow for smaller devices that use less power.

Near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO3, also known as Kamo'oalewa, was likely blasted from the Giordano Bruno crater on the moon's far side and has been hurtling through space for several million years, according to a study published in Nature Astronomy.

The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists. According to simulations, a collision between Pluto and a planetary body that happened relatively slowly and at an oblique angle left the impactor "splatted" onto Pluto's surface. The findings also cast doubt on the existence of a subsurface ocean on Pluto, as was previously speculated.
