Engineering photos captured by UArizona's Near-Infrared Camera mark an important milestone for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. They confirm that the telescope is functioning and mirror alignment can begin. The public can expect to see the first scientific images from Webb in the summer.
Researchers have learned more about the part of the brain that mediates satiation. This could help lead to better treatments for eating disorders and weight management.
UArizona astronomers use DESI, which has observed more galaxies than any previous 3-D survey, to hunt for intermediate-mass black holes in small galaxies.
Researchers discovered hundreds of large bursts of methane from oil and gas production activities across the globe. The bursts account for 10% of global oil and gas methane emissions and are missing from most greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
By combining tree-ring data with U.S. Forest Service data, UArizona researchers have captured a more complete picture of what will drive future tree growth amid climate change. They predict individual tree growth will decline by as much as 91%.
Irina Panyushkina grew up in Siberia, hearing stories of explorers trudging through seas of ice to reach the North Pole. She is now a climate scientist trying to understand how a warming world is transforming the place she called home.
Most scientists researching California's extreme weather have focused their investigations on the last decade. But new UArizona research finds that an increasing trend in extreme weather began half a century ago.
Doctoral student Kira Hart Shanks designed and built the infrared channeled spectropolarimeter, which will be deployed onboard a NASA CubeSat to monitor invisible clouds in the upper atmosphere.
When the pandemic sent many students home from class, UArizona researchers developed an at-home lesson plan to teach high schoolers about bioinformatics and SARS-CoV-2.
Surprisingly little is known about how rain moves through landscapes once it's on the ground. A $3.5 million grant will allow scientists to study the role of plants and microbes in the process.
