By mashing up brains from various insects, UArizona neuroscientists introduce a practical technique for quantifying the neurons that make up the brains of invertebrate animals.

According to new UArizona-led research, the American West has received less rain and gotten hotter – and its dry periods have become longer and more variable – over the last 50 years.

The OSIRIS-REx mission is on the brink of discovering the extent of the mess it made on asteroid Bennu's surface during October's sample collection.

Researchers are hoping to learn more about human speech by studying songbirds, one of the few species that share humans' ability to learn new vocalizations.

Climate change, the Colorado River and even the asteroid Bennu will play a part in the 16th annual College of Science Lecture Series, which is focused on the science of water.

The UArizona the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering received more than $3 million in funding in support of their hypersonics research on objects that move faster than the speed of sound.

Tools and methods developed by Daniel Apai's research group at UArizona will help study the atmosphere of exoplanets as part of NASA's Pandora mission concept.

Humans' response to climate variability is not all doom and gloom. Past societies have found ways to thrive and innovate under climatic stresses, researchers say.

A new image taken with the globe-spanning Event Horizon Telescope array reveals the black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy and its shadow in polarized light. The EHT network of telescopes includes the UArizona ARO Submillimeter Telescope on Mt. Graham in Arizona.
