The award recognizes the team behind the mission's successful collection of a pristine asteroid sample for laying "the groundwork for forging the next generation of scientists, astronomers, geologists and more."

Jennifer Barton has spent nearly a decade developing a falloposcope to detect ovarian cancer in its early stages. Dr. John Heusinkveld has now successfully used the device to capture images of study participants' fallopian tubes.

Irina Panyushkina grew up in Siberia, hearing stories of explorers trudging through seas of ice to reach the North Pole. She is now a climate scientist trying to understand how a warming world is transforming the place she called home.

Using observations of the nearby elliptical galaxy Centaurus A, a team of astronomers found an unprecedented number of possible globular clusters – old, dense groups of thousands of stars that all formed at the same time.

Most scientists researching California's extreme weather have focused their investigations on the last decade. But new UArizona research finds that an increasing trend in extreme weather began half a century ago.

The grant will be split equally between Health Sciences scholarships and the UArizona BIO5 Institute's KEYS Internship Program.

Researchers have identified the first signature of a magnetic field surrounding a planet outside of our solar system. Earth's magnetic field acts as a shield against energetic particles from the sun known as the solar wind. Magnetic fields could play similar roles on other planets.

The University of Arizona has joined a collaboration with Space Trust – a nongovernmental organization based in the United Kingdom – and the University of Nairobi in Kenya to develop a series of Earth-orbiting spacecraft built by university students.
