Shock-darkened meteorites are characterized by dark veins. Planetary scientists have been unable to pinpoint a nearby asteroid source of these meteorites – until now.

Researchers at UArizona and Penn State University are drawing inspiration from bacteria under the sea to develop technology capable of capturing and repurposing methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas.

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.

To mark the lecture series' 100-year anniversary, an evening celebration will include a presentation on the newest science to come out of the James Webb Space Telescope, a chance to peer at the sky through telescopes, recognition of a new endowed chair and the opening of Steward Observatory's visitor center.

NASA's DART spacecraft will slam into an asteroid this month, and scientists will study how the impact affects its orbit around a larger, companion asteroid discovered by UArizona researchers in 1996.

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.

Nature is full of patterns. Among them are tiling patterns, like what you see on a giraffe's coat. But what makes these natural patterns form? A new UArizona study uses bacteria to help answer that question.
