Analyzing observations of an X-ray flare and fitting the data with theoretical models, UArizona astronomers documented a fatal encounter between an unlucky star and an intermediate-mass black hole.
HydroGEN, a UArizona-led project funded by the National Science Foundation's Convergence Accelerator program, will allow researchers to build a national platform for hydrologic forecasting.
Funded by the NSF Convergence Accelerator Program, the Quantum Sensors project aims to make space and terrestrial navigation far more sensitive, accurate and affordable.
Beneath Earth's surface is a vibrant world of life unlike any other, and researchers hope to dig into its secrets by partnering with companies that drill up to thousands of feet deep.
The ribbon of fast winds familiar to air travelers between North America and Europe is a big influencer on weather in North America and Europe. By drilling deep into the Greenland Ice Sheet, researchers reconstructed the jet stream's past and found that climate-caused disruptions are likely to have drastic weather-related consequences for societies on both sides of the Atlantic.
New research suggests that the volume of salty water 2 to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) beneath the Earth's surface is double previous estimates. The water could store waste fluids, sequester carbon and direct our search for extraterrestrial life.
A new UArizona-led study uses big data to assess why the diversity of species varies across the globe. What researchers learned changes our understanding of future diversity in a warming world.
As scientists begin to more seriously consider constructing bases on celestial bodies such as the moon, the idea of space mining is growing in popularity. With $500,000 in NASA funding, UArizona engineers are working to advance space-mining methods that use swarms of autonomous robots.
Since 2001, between 40,000 and 73,400 square miles of Amazon rainforest have been impacted by fires, affecting 95% of all Amazonian species and as many as 85% of species that are listed as threatened in the region.
Rare fossils preserving the brains of creatures living more than half a billion years ago shed new light on the evolution of arthropods such as insects and crustaceans.
