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.
The Large Binocular Telescope is unrivaled in the global arsenal of optical telescopes. Sporting two 27-foot mirrors made at UArizona, its unique design allows astronomers to make observations that would not otherwise be possible.
Analyses based on locations and viral sequencing of early cases indicate the COVID-19 pandemic started in Wuhan's Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, with two separate jumps from animals to humans.
Before-and-after data from the few seconds it took the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to collect a sample from asteroid Bennu revealed a surprise: The particles of Bennu's exterior are so loosely packed, they act more like a fluid than a solid.
Construction has begun on a tall, hangar-like "high bay" facility, where researchers can build and test hardware for experiments and missions designed to fly at extremely high altitudes sometimes referred to as the "edge of space."
During a visit to campus, NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy discussed some of the space agency's most ambitious and impactful space missions with the UArizona early-career scientists who pursue them.
A new decadal survey from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends NASA fully support NEO Surveyor, a space-based survey designed to discover and measure asteroids and comets that could pose an impact hazard to Earth. Amy Mainzer, a professor of planetary sciences, leads the effort.
UArizona researchers were leaders in a worldwide effort to understand tropical trees and their futures under climate change. They found that heat and drought slow the growth of these trees, which are major carbon dioxide absorbers.
The $23 million, donor-funded project will provide new space for the internationally recognized UArizona center, which focuses on whole-person wellness.
Alpine permafrost, which is found closer to the equator at high elevations, is expected to melt at a faster rate than arctic permafrost under current global warming conditions, according to new research.
