A new UArizona initiative will work to reduce diet-sensitive disease in vulnerable Arizona communities through culinary medicine — an emerging field that blends the art of cooking with the science of medicine and nutrition to prevent and manage chronic illness.
Yeast cells and human immune system cells rely on similar chemical reactions to know when to grow. Scientists have identified differences between the cell types that could help with the development of antifungal drugs.
To mark the lecture series' 100-year anniversary, an evening celebration will include a presentation on the newest science to come out of the James Webb Space Telescope, a chance to peer at the sky through telescopes, recognition of a new endowed chair and the opening of Steward Observatory's visitor center.
Ever wonder what gives a forest its pine-fresh scent? The answer is the molecular compound pinene, naturally released by plants. A new study explores how and under what conditions plants emit pinene and other volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere. The results may help scientists detect when an ecosystem is in distress.
NASA's DART spacecraft will slam into an asteroid this month, and scientists will study how the impact affects its orbit around a larger, companion asteroid discovered by UArizona researchers in 1996.
The Gregory H. and Lisa S. Boyce Endowed Department Leadership Chair in Mining and Geological Engineering ensures a strong program for years to come. Due to a dollar-for-dollar match from the Lundin family, it will also benefit the new School of Mining and Mineral Resources.
The partnership will provide university faculty, students and other partners with a forum to collaboratively address pressing challenges of human security, exploration, development and settlement of space.
The university held this same position in the 2020 report, indicating continued productivity in driving impact from research and innovation. The university had 86 patents issued last year.
Attorneys' fees and other barriers keep many people from setting up wills. A team of researchers from three colleges hopes artificial intelligence can automate parts of that process and make wills more accessible.
Chemical and environmental engineering professor Erin Ratcliff will lead a national collaboration to create solar fuels and storage technologies that are more durable and sustainable, but less expensive.
