Future space missions likely will send robots to scout out underground habitats for astronauts. UArizona engineers have developed a system that would allow autonomous vehicles to explore caves, lava tubes and even oceans on other worlds.
More environmentally friendly agriculture practices are needed to keep the farming industry strong in Arizona, a report from the university's Southwest Center finds.
Climate models and geologic archives are at odds over whether Earth gradually warmed or cooled over the past few thousand years. Researchers tackle this global "temperature conundrum" in a new paper.
Most biologists have assumed that ants wander aimlessly around a new environment. New UArizona research suggests that at least one species of rock ant actually searches in a more methodical way.
University of Arizona space sciences activities generate more than $560 million every year for the local economy, according to an economic impact report delivered by Rounds Consulting Group.
A new study suggests that too much – or too little – office noise has a negative effect on employee well-being. The sweet spot? About 50 decibels, comparable to moderate rain or birdsong.
An open-air, living laboratory that spans parts of Arizona and New Mexico is helping researchers better understand how mineral weathering – the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals over time – feeds into Earth's intricate life-support system.
Researchers have found a correlation between poor sleep and suicide risk. A new study evaluated suicidal thoughts and behaviors in college students during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Known as the "King of Sting," Justin Schmidt has dedicated his life to the study of insects, mostly the stinging kind. In a recent paper, he explores giant velvet mites – elusive creatures of the arachnid family. Among his discoveries: Virtually no one wants to eat them, suggesting the mites have to contend with few, if any, predators.
When you're in a bad mood, you might be quicker to spot inconsistencies in things you read, a new University of Arizona-led study finds. The study, published in Frontiers in Communication, builds on existing research on how the brain processes language.
