April 26, 2023 Very active hurricane season expected for 2023, UArizona experts say UArizona researchers are forecasting nine hurricanes this year, five of which are expected to be major. Since 2014, hurricane activity has been accurately predicted by a model created by UArizona professor Xubin Zeng and his former graduate student Kyle Davis.
April 21, 2023 Arizona Board of Regents confirms five new UArizona Regents Professors Price Fishback, Takeshi Inomata, Chris Segrin, Kathy Short and Todd Vanderah are UArizona's newest Regents Professors. The university's highest faculty rank honors exceptional achievements that merit national and international recognition.
April 19, 2023 Researchers unlock new answers in quest for safer, more effective opioid therapy Hsp90-inhibitor drugs in the spinal cord are showing promise as potential pain therapeutics, finds a new study by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers.
April 14, 2023 Icy moonquakes: Surface shaking could trigger landslides Many of the ice-encrusted moons orbiting the giant planets in the far reaches of our solar system are known to be geologically active. Quakes could be the source of the mysteriously smooth terrain on the moons circling Jupiter and Saturn, according to a new study led by a UArizona graduate student.
April 12, 2023 Scientists develop new way to measure wind Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes.
April 11, 2023 How cities use energy to regulate temperature – just like mammals A UArizona undergraduate looked at cities as living things to investigate how human energy use changes with rising temperatures. Her research could help save lives from heat waves.
April 6, 2023 UArizona East Asian studies professor awarded 2023 Guggenheim Fellowship Jiang Wu, head of the university's Center for Buddhist Studies, will use the award to further research the impact of 17th-century Buddhist monk Yinyuan Longqi.
March 24, 2023 6 months to go until historic asteroid sample delivery NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is cruising back to Earth with the sample it collected from asteroid Bennu's rocky surface in 2020. When the sample capsule parachutes down into the Utah desert on Sept. 24, the UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission will become the first U.S. mission to return an asteroid sample to Earth.
March 20, 2023 Optical switching at record speeds opens door for ultrafast, light-based electronics and computers Imagine a home computer operating 1 million times faster than the most expensive hardware on the market. Now, imagine that being the industry standard. UArizona physicists hope to pave the way for that reality.
March 15, 2023 3D radar scan provides clues about threats to iconic Alaskan glacier Mapping a large coastal glacier in Alaska revealed that its bulk sits below sea level and is undercut by channels, making it vulnerable to accelerated melting in an already deteriorating coastal habitat.
