Losing a loved one is one of life's most stressful experiences, and its toll can be physical as well as emotional, according to more than four decades of scientific research.

Whether you bend a rod or bend the rules, the brain processes the word "bend" similarly, with the sensory motor region playing a key role, according to new UA research.

Three UA professors, each with unique areas of expertise relating to water and the Colorado River, talk about the Drought Contingency Plan and what might come next.

UA students will get hands-on spacecraft hardware development experience thanks to NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative, which recently selected CatSat to fly as auxiliary payload aboard future space missions.

When humans make certain types of mistakes, their pupils change size, UA researchers found. This may offer clues to what goes on in the brain when people make suboptimal decisions.
