Funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will allow research that started by analyzing COVID-19 immunity and vaccine effectiveness in frontline workers to continue as new variants emerge.

After decades of development, a nail-biting launch and months of space travel and commissioning, NASA has released the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The images hint at the beginning of years of space science, made possible in part by the 21 UArizona researchers who have played a role in developing and managing Webb's onboard instruments.

The Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies will support research to catalyze the next generation of precision health care treatments, building on the idea that the most effective defense against health issues is the body's natural immune system.

Before-and-after data from the few seconds it took the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to collect a sample from asteroid Bennu revealed a surprise: The particles of Bennu's exterior are so loosely packed, they act more like a fluid than a solid.

In many cases of epilepsy – which disrupts electrical activity in the brain and often results in seizures – the underlying cause is unknown. UArizona researchers may have found an explanation for some forms of epilepsy.

Amid the call for drastic water-use reductions in the Southwest, Arizona agriculturists, scientists and water stakeholders will gather to explore future sustainability at the Water Resources Research Center annual conference.

As the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon, it flushed away ancient groundwater. The discovery was made using a new method that determines the age of water based on how much of the radioactive element krypton-81 is present.

A concept developed by UArizona aerospace experts and a NASA planetary scientist takes inspiration from albatross flight to learn more about the Red Planet's atmosphere and geology.

With a startup called CarbeniumTec, researchers in the College of Science and the College of Medicine – Tucson aim to bring to market new technology that reimagines how electricity is stored.

The better someone knows a topic, the more difficult their writing about that subject can be to understand. UArizona researchers have developed the Writing Clarity Calculator to help scholars determine how clear their writing is.
