Science & Technology

An in-depth look into the deep history of how animals evolved their dietary preferences over the last 800 million years led UA researchers to some unexpected discoveries.

A new computer program developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson is pushing the envelope of precision medicine. By integrating the genetic information from millions of patients, researchers are able to use the new technology to predict the effects of personalized courses of drug therapy based on an individual’s unique genetic makeup.

New research reports that conventional oil and gas production activities inject more water underground than hydraulic fracturing and other unconventional petroleum-production methods.

Ten students from Japan and Arizona gathered for the first official Space Camp Biosphere 2, where they designed Biosphere 3 to sustain human life on Mars.

University of Arizona researchers are using the Catalina Sky Survey’s near-Earth object telescopes to locate the optical counterparts to gravitational waves triggered by massive mergers.

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has mapped Bennu to identify the best spots for the spacecraft to collect a sample. The final two sites – a primary and backup – will be selected in December.

By creating millions of virtual universes and comparing them to observations of actual galaxies, a UA-led team present a powerful new approach for studying galaxy formation.

UA researchers have designed a telescope that is a cheaper, lighter and more powerful option than creating telescopes using ever-larger mirrors.

Engineering principles developed only 150 years ago were found to have evolved first in biological circuitry that controls cell growth, according to new UA research.

Two UA astronomers received Early Career Research Awards from the Department of Energy to to investigate the nature of the expanding universe and other dark mysteries.
