What if your earbuds could do everything your smartphone can, but better? A new class of synthetic materials could allow for smaller devices that use less power.

Quade, a professor in the Department of Geosciences, was recognized for his work to provide a deeper understanding of Earth's past environments.

The university convened key leaders across government, industry and academia on Capitol Hill to discuss sustainable production and cultivating the next generation workforce.

Life can be tough for young red squirrels living in the Canada's Yukon territory, where frigid winters, food scarcity and predators threaten their long-term survival. Scientists want to know what factors might protect young squirrels, especially as their environment becomes more impacted by climate change.

Researchers have investigated how human activities impact Earth's deep subsurface, a zone hundreds of meters to several kilometers beneath the planet's surface.

A desert ocean, Martian park and the hottest rainforest canopy on Earth can all be found at Biosphere 2, where researchers are studying the effects of climate change and exploring solutions for a better future.

Arizona is the only institution with two projects chosen for pilot program that pairs research teams with entrepreneurial experts in effort to establish long-term financial viability

A UArizona geologist and research team used the movement of one of Earth's tectonic plates to learn more about the planet's past and what's happening in the mantle below.

The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists. According to simulations, a collision between Pluto and a planetary body that happened relatively slowly and at an oblique angle left the impactor "splatted" onto Pluto's surface. The findings also cast doubt on the existence of a subsurface ocean on Pluto, as was previously speculated.

UArizona scientists mapped the moon for the Apollo missions. Now, as NASA astronauts prepare to return to the moon, two of the three instruments they'll bring have UArizona ties. The instruments will allow them to map moonquakes and the moon's subsurface.
