Prairie dog kisses helped researcher Jennifer Verdolin map the intricacies of prairie dog social dynamics – from how many friends a particular prairie dog has to how many connections the critter facilitated.
Surprisingly little is known about how rain moves through landscapes once it's on the ground. UArizona's Landscape Evolution Observatory is designed to provide answers. A $3.5 million grant will allow scientists to study the roles plants and microbes play in the process.
NASA's new flagship space observatory has arrived in French Guinea, where it will be readied for launch on Dec. 18. UArizona astronomers Marcia and George Rieke played key roles in designing and building the telescope's infrared "eyes," which will peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before.
The new, custom-made devices could mean massive improvements in the monitoring and treatment of diseases, the testing of new drugs, and the ability to track personal health.
University of Arizona researchers have developed a way to turn sulfur – the byproduct of fossil fuel refining – into a flame retardant, high-end plastic.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are slowing down and dumping more water in the process. At-risk communities could use new research findings to prepare for future disasters.
UArizona researchers are part of a national team analyzing how the practice of growing crops under solar panels can best be implemented across the country.
Using data from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, a UArizona-led team of scientists concluded that asteroids with highly porous rocks, such as Bennu, should lack fine-grain material on their surfaces.
New research into metal-rich asteroids reveals information about the origins and compositions of these rare bodies that could one day be mined.
