Astronomers have discovered a structure thought to be a "protocluster" of galaxies on its way to developing into a galaxy supercluster.
By combining Hubble Space Telescope observations with theoretical models, a team of astronomers has gained insights into the chemical and physical makeup of a variety of exoplanets known as hot Jupiters.
The U.S. will experience more extreme cold winter weather as climate change slows down ocean currents, new research finds. The study was motivated by the extreme cold experienced in Texas earlier this year.
The project promises a new look, new life and a new neighbor for "Old Chem," plus the expansion of collaborative learning spaces on campus.
NASA's new flagship space observatory has arrived in French Guinea, where it will be readied for launch on Dec. 18. UArizona astronomers Marcia and George Rieke played key roles in designing and building the telescope's infrared "eyes," which will peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before.
Surprisingly little is known about how rain moves through landscapes once it's on the ground. A $3.5 million grant will allow scientists to study the role of plants and microbes in the process.
Researchers have developed a way to turn sulfur – the byproduct of fossil fuel refining – into a flame retardant, high-end plastic that's rubbery, elastic and moldable.
Using data from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, a UArizona-led team of scientists concluded that asteroids with highly porous rocks, such as Bennu, should lack fine-grain material on their surfaces.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are slowing down and dumping more water in the process. At-risk communities could use new research findings to prepare for future disasters.
New research into metal-rich asteroids reveals information about the origins and compositions of these rare bodies that could one day be mined.
