NASA's new flagship space observatory has arrived in French Guinea, where it will be readied for launch on Dec. 18. UArizona astronomers Marcia and George Rieke played key roles in designing and building the telescope's infrared "eyes," which will peer deeper into the cosmos than ever before.
The new, custom-made devices could mean massive improvements in the monitoring and treatment of diseases, the testing of new drugs, and the ability to track personal health.
Using data from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, a UArizona-led team of scientists concluded that asteroids with highly porous rocks, such as Bennu, should lack fine-grain material on their surfaces.
Cancer Center researchers found lower immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine in patients on active chemotherapy. A third dose of the Pfizer vaccine boosted immune response.
New research into metal-rich asteroids reveals information about the origins and compositions of these rare bodies that could one day be mined.
The network, established with funding from the National Institutes of Health, has the ultimate goal of developing more effective brain-aging treatments and interventions targeted to the individual.
The new building is designed to draw on the university’s core strengths and research collaborations in space exploration, optics, quantum information science and more.
Using machine learning and simulations of giant impacts, researchers found that planets residing in the inner solar system were likely born from repeated hit-and-run collisions.
UArizona astronomers used massive galaxy clusters as natural magnifying glasses to discover strange galaxies that stopped making stars before their time.
Analyzing observations of an X-ray flare and fitting the data with theoretical models, astronomers documented a fatal encounter between an unlucky star and a black hole.
