Science & Technology

Astronomers can now use ground-based telescopes to capture images of planets that could potentially harbor life within the habitable zone of the Alpha Centauri star system.

Before departing for Earth on May 10, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will perform a final flyby of Bennu – capturing its last images of sample collection site Nightingale.

The project will create immersive scenarios that simulate typical experiences of discrimination, with the goal of promoting honest and productive discussions about racism.

Auxilium Technologies has brought together multiple UArizona inventions that offer sustainable, energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions to improve the output of mines while reducing their environmental impact.

When Iceland's Laki volcano erupted in 1783, its effects rippled around the world. Researchers analyzed tree rings to understand how climate responded in northwestern North America. The work will help fine-tune future climate models.

On May 10, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will depart asteroid Bennu and begin its two-year journey back to Earth, where scientists will study the dust and rocks it collected from the asteroid's surface.

Researchers used progesterone metabolite levels combined with patient demographic and clinical data to predict significant neonatal morbidity, neonatal length of stay and risk for very preterm delivery.

A team of scientists led by UArizona's Christopher Hamilton will send drones on exploration missions across a lava field in Iceland to test a next-generation Mars exploration concept.
