UA electrical engineers and a Mesa, Ariz. company have designed and built a microelectronics prototyping board that allows students and researchers to rapidly build and test mixed-signal circuits.
A flowering baobab, a rare calabash, and an immense southern live oak - all on the University of Arizona campus - have been designated Great Trees of Arizona by the Arizona Community Tree Council. Nominations were made on behalf of the University of Arizona Campus Arboretum in February.
Aided by skilled southern Arizona birders reporting over the Internet, a UA ecologist is getting unique new information on urban bird ecology in a fast-growing metropolis.
Systems and Industrial Engineering Professor Terry Bahill can't hit major league pitching, but his photo hangs in a new Baseball Hall of Fame exhibition featuring such revered relics as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson's shoes.
Two UA electrical engineering undergrads completed a senior project last semester that is helping a rural Arizona hospital to better serve its patients.
UA researchers are trying to develop a better understanding of when and where water recharge occurs in the Tucson basin and how much water reaches Tucson's underground reservoir during ephemeral stream flows.
How do nectar-feeding hummingbirds and Palestine sunbirds deal with all the water they consume? They have amazing kidneys - but something else, too, a UA ecologist has discovered.
Scientists at the University of Arizona hope to harness sunshine, which exerts a weak force on spacecraft, to point and stabilize future space telescopes. They visualize a shield shaped like a pyramid, with sloping surfaces covered by hinged, reflecting tiles. Normally the tiles lie flat against the surfaces. When the tiles on one side of the pyramid are raised, however, they act like the ailerons on airplane wings and can be used to guide and point the telescope.
Brain Science 101 - at 6 p.m. March 14 in DuVal Auditorium - will feature leading UA researchers exploring how the brain works and discussing recent breakthroughs on the prevention and treatment of devastating neurological disorders that affect millions of people.
Columbia shuttle astronauts early this morning successfully installed a new mechanical cooling system to revive the UA infrared camera on the NASA Hubble Space Telescope.
