Arizona Solar Racing Team students will race their solar-powered car "Monsoon" over historic Route 66 -- more than 2,000 miles from Chicago to LA -- July 15 - 25 in the 2001 American Solar Challenge. Track their progress on the web at http://www.solarcar.arizona.edu
John G. Hildebrand and Robert C.Kennicutt have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an international learned society composed of the world's leading scientists, scholars, artists, business people and public leaders. Both say it tops the list of honors in their careers - and their lists are long.
Physicists this week announced they have discovered that neutrinos have mass - thereby solving a 30-year enigma but prompting further questions, UA physicists say
A UA scientist's proposed Mars Atmospheric Constellation Observatory (MACO) is among 10 mission concepts selected for further study under the Mars Scout mission program, NASA announced today.
New high-resolution images from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) show evidence of ground ice on Mars as recently as 10 million years ago. More striking is that the signs of geologically recent ground ice deposits are near Mars' equator, where ice was probably no deeper than 5 meters (15 feet) below the surface, University of Arizona scientists say.
UA geoscientist Paul Martin 25 years ago pioneered the controversial idea that humans, not climate, forced Earth's large Pleistocene animals to extinction. New research says he's right.
A UA veterinary microbiologist and lab team are gathering and testing clams and oysters from both U.S. coasts for the presence of Campylobacter and Salmonella bacteria.
A preliminary study in the UA School of Family and Consumer Sciences found that family and relationship patterns contribute to the persistence of high-risk smoking, particularly with couples who smoke. As a result, the researchers have now developed a family-focused intervention program for high-risk smokers and their spouses.
A UA-led international team of space scientists and engineers this week is chasing dust devils swirling over the Santa Cruz flats near Eloy, Ariz., -- an experiment that will help define studies of Mars dust devils later in the decade.
The Cassini spacecraft headed for Saturn has captured new images of auroras on Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io, during an eclipse. UA planetary scientist Paul Geissler presents the new "movie" today at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Boston.
